Our strategy
Our strategy (2011 – 2015) sets out the framework for the future of the National Measurement System and how the NMS and the National Measurement Laboratories (NPL, LGC and NEL) will deliver leadership in measurement nationally, and internationally through growth and innovation.
Our strategy focuses on three key challenges, Leadership in Measurement, NMS Infrastructure and Responding to National Challenges.
By responding to the challenges facing the UK with new enabling measurement capability, developed in partnership with business, Government departments and agencies, universities and the world measurement community the UK will achieve complete confidence in measurement standards, on which all other measurements rely. The NMS will boost innovation through exploiting the link between measurement science and technological advance.
