📷Earlier this week with the @NPL board @UniOfSurrey.

We've been strategic partners (with @UniStrathclyde) since 2015 & it was great to get together & discuss how we might collectively address communication & digital challenges, healthcare solutions & protecting the environment.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

This technology, pioneered @NPL, is the perfect example of how our science can create impact, delivering tangible benefits for society which will simultaneously improve our understanding of the world.

Today's event highlights the importance of the Maritime Autonomy Assurance Testbed programme, an initiative established in the UK to develop an accessible and usable test and certification approach to assure the safety and reliability of autonomous systems globally.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

It was a pleasure to open the UK led Summit on Maritime Autonomous Technologies, Innovations and Standards in partnership with Singapore today. We're bringing together international stakeholders to foster collaboration and share the latest insights on developments in this area.

[NPL @NPL]

Our team has arrived at the Maritime Autonomous Technologies Summit in Singapore.

We're delighted to be leading this summit for Singapore Maritime Week, bringing together stakeholders from over 20 organisations to share the latest insights on Maritime Autonomous technologies.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

I was delighted to present the results of @NPL's recent time dilation demonstration to @citylordmayor last week.

The demonstration, led by Dr Setnam Shemar, illustrates the critical role NPL plays in global timekeeping.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

So far we've launched 7 stories from colleagues across @NPL. Each touching on different experiences. I can't recommend reading them enough.

Perhaps you'll find an experience that resonates with you or you'll discover someone's perspective that you've never considered before.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

Diversity is vital for enabling us to continue to deliver our world-leading science & engineering. Breaking down stereotypes within the STEM sector is critical to inspiring the next generation. I hope that our people’s stories will help to achieve this.

While the personas are fake, the experiences behind them are real.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

Through our Stronger Together, Everyone Matters campaign, we are sharing real stories from colleagues.

However, these don't capture everyone's experiences, so we've developed a set of personas, each representing a different group at NPL. 1/2

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

Through this campaign we’ll be showcasing stories from a wide range of colleagues.

I hope that they will inspire others to join organisations like NPL, where diverse perspectives make us better. 2/2

Delighted to have welcomed @griffitha to @NPL this morning to see our facilities, which are directly contributing to the realisation of the Quantum Missions. https://t.co/0z4ROz8H0K

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

It is also why my first visit as Science Minister is to @NPL – it is facilities like this that will help the UK become a true leader in Quantum and unlock new industries.

[Dr Pete Thompson CBE, CEO @NPL @PeteThompsonNPL]

NPL and @NIST have a long-standing partnership. I was delighted to visit the US recently where we signed an agreement to further strengthen our collaboration in quantum technologies.

Understanding AI is essential if we are to utilise it for societal good.

[NPL @NPL]

As a national laboratory, we are using our research expertise and facilities to ensure the performance and safety of AI is understood and that it can be scientifically and empirically measured – quantitatively AND qualitatively.
