A Conversation with COOMET

Introduction COOMET is a Regional Metrology Organization (RMO) that establishes cooperation between the national metrology institutions of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It was founded in June 1991 and renamed Euro-Asian Cooperation of National Metrology Institutions in May 2000. COOMET is open to any metrology institution from other regions; they can join as Associate Members. The current 15 members of COOMET are the metrology institutions from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Romania, Slovakia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. In addition, there are 3 Associate Members: Germany, DPR of Korea, and Cuba. The objectives of COOMET are the following: • Provide assistance in effectively addressing any problems relating to the uniformity of measures, uniformity of measurements and the required accuracy of their results; • Provide assistance in promoting cooperation between national economies and eliminating technical barriers for international trade; • Harmonize activities of metrology services of the Euro-Asian countries with similar activities in other regions. These objectives are accomplished by cooperation between interested COOMET Member Countries with regards to supporting activities related to the accreditation of national metrology institutes (NMIs), as well as calibration and measurement laboratories. Dr. Pavel Neyezhmakov, Head of Secretariat for COOMET, has 28 years of experience in metrology. His research has included work with large length measurements and ionizing radiation measurements, while his current field of research relates to the problems of safe data transfer in metrology. Dr. Neyezhmakov received his Ph.D. at the academic Council of National Scientific Center (NSC) “Institute of Metrology,” Ukraine. The system of getting an academic degree in the Ukraine includes both universities and leading scientific and research institutes. The title of his Ph.D. thesis is Methods and Devices of Metrological Assurance of Length Measurements on Geodynamic Polygons. Since July 27, 2011, Dr. Neyezhmakov has been appointed the First Acting General Director on scientific work of NSC “Institute of Metrology,” Ukraine.
