NPL is the UK's National Metrology Institute, an internationally respected center of excellence in measurement science, with over 800 scientific experts and extensive facilities. We collaborate with government, industry, and stakeholders to ensure reliable measurements.
The Environment team develops strategies to engage stakeholders, identify new science opportunities, and build scientific capabilities to create impact from science.
