During the meeting, amendments to the EURAMET Statute were adopted, which refer to the obligation of institutes to be members of EURAMET if they wish to provide their services within the framework of the CIPM MRA arrangement.

The Chairman of the General Assembly, Jörn Stenger, reported on significant progress in achieving EURAMET's strategic goals.

The general secretary of EURAMET, Mikko Merimaa, submitted a report on the activities of EURAMET. The chairpersons of EURAMET's technical committees, as well as all European Metrology Networks (EMN), gave presentations on the most significant activities.

A vote was also held for new members of the EURAMET Board of Directors, which elected the representatives of the national metrology institutes of Great Britain, Richard Brown, Norway, Hans Arne Froystein and Germany, Annette Röttger.

Director of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) Martin Milton emphasized that 2025 marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Meter Convention and that the BIPM is preparing to mark that significant date in several ways.

It is planned that the next EURAMET General Assembly will be held at the National Institute of Germany (RTV), in Berlin.
