Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) National Metrology and Calibration Center (NMCC) Director Abdulaziz Al-Gossair and the Head of NMCC’s Time and Frequency Laboratory Khalid Aldawood met with TÜBİTAK UME officials on July 22-26, 2013 to discuss new areas of cooperation.
TUBITAK UME’s Acting Director Dr. Fatih Üstüner, Assistant Directors for Technical Affairs Dr. Mustafa Çetintaş and Dr. Ahmet Ceyhan Gören, Assistant Director for Administrative Affairs Dr. Erkan Danacı, the heads of relevant laboratories and the International Relations Department participated in the meeting. Two project agreements were signed; one to develop the infrastructure of NMCC’s Wavelength, Dimensional, Mass, Force, Impedance, Temperature and Pressure Laboratories, and the other to provide training to NMCC staff in TUBITAK UME laboratories.
Coming after the project agreement signed in 2012 to establish NMCC’s Time and Frequency Measurements and Calibration Laboratory, the two new project agreements signed mark the second phase of the cooperation between the two institutions.
