Povodom obeležavanja Svetskog dana metrologije, Direkcija za mere i dragocene metale (u daljem tekstu: DMDM), u petak 8. maja 2026. godine, bila je domaćin studentima Građevinskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Beogradu, Katedre za geodeziju i geoinformatiku.

Tom prilikom, studenti su upoznati sa značajem metrologije, kao nauke o merenjima, koja je prisutna u svim oblastima ljudskog delovanja, značajem i načinom obezbeđenja metrološke sledivosti do međunarodnog nivoa, kao i dugom tradicijom metrologije u Srbiji.

Takođe, studenti su informisani o temi kojom se obeležava Svetski dan metrologije 2026. godine  „Metrologija: Izgradnja poverenja u javne politike“, koja ističe ulogu koju metrologija igra u pružanju naučnih dokaza i pravnih okvira koje kreatori politike mogu koristiti za donošenje informisanih, transparentnih i primenljivih odluka.

Kroz promotivni film prezentovan je značaj i uloga DMDM, kao nacionalne metrološke institucije, njene nadležnosti, poslovi i zadaci u oblasti metrologije. Stručna poseta uključila je obilazak laboratorija za vreme, male zapremine i dužinu.

Tokom posete laboratorijama studenti su imali priliku da se bliže upoznaju sa mogućnostima merenja i etaloniranja, kao i ostalim poslovima koje DMDM obavlja kao nacionalni metrološki institut.

By Decision of the Government of the Republic of Serbia 24 No. 119-4268/2026, Nikola Vuković was appointed Acting Assistant Director of the Directorate for Measures and Precious Metals - Sector for development of metrology at the Ministry of Economy, for six months.
