The CCRI News resource

The value of the range of communication channels the CCRI can use to engage, inform and support the Ionizing Radiation (IR) community has been demonstrated in the last years; in particular electronic communication (Webinars, e-learning, Blog, Newsletter, YouTube).

Although this is led, coordinated and mostly resourced from the BIPM work programme, it would be valuable to ensure that the communication plan reflects the needs of the IR community.

A CCRI working group has therefore been created, chaired by the CCRI Executive Secretary to help:

• plan and shape communication activities, taking advantage of the networks of the group members
• provide input and insights on the needs and interests of the whole IR community (e.g. reflecting different regions, NMI size, maturity of metrology systems etc.)
• enable young metrologists to communicate their work.

The members of the CCRI communication working group are as follows: Reham Hamdy (NIS) for AFRIMETS, Anna Villevalde (VNIIM) for COOMET, Paula Toroi (STUK) for EURAMET, Elham Al Fares (Calibration laboratory of Kuwait) for GULFMET, Raphael Galea (NRC) for SIM, Haoran Liu (NIM) for APMP, Freda Van Wyngaardt (ANSTO) for both APMP and Section 2, Massimo Pinto (ENEA) for Section 1, Andreas Zimbal (PTB) for section 3, Romain Coulon and Vincent Gressier (BIPM).

This WG first met February 28 with introduction from Martyn Sené, CCRI president, and will prepare several communication projects and events in the coming months.
