Balancing Projects Supporting Sustainability Issues with Economically Driven Proposals within the United Kingdom National Measurement System

摘要

Metrology is developing as a field, and in the United Kingdom (UK) this requires development of the budget allocation process to ensure funding is provided to all areas. A research project is being undertaken within the UK National Measurement System aimed at creating a more balanced approach to ensure funding is granted at the appropriate level in areas of metrology for which the justification is non-economic. A discussion of the work that has been undertaken is going to be put forward in this paper highlighting the early findings of the research.
