Dear Reader,
Welcome to the 15th KCDB Newsletter.
This issue of the KCDB Newsletter is the first to be published after Prof. Michael Kühne became the Director of the BIPM on 1 January 2011 following Prof. Andrew Wallard's retirement.
It highlights some updates related to the BIPM, the CIPM MRA and the JCRB.
Following the designation of 2011 as "The International Year of Chemistry" by UNESCO and IUPAC, this issue of the Newsletter focuses particularly on the work in Metrology in Chemistry at the BIPM.
Other news, especially concerning the KCDB and the SI, is also included.
We wish you a pleasant time surfing our KCDB Newsletter No 15,
The BIPM KCDB Office.
The KCDB Coordinator is grateful to Dr Robert Wielgosz, Director of the BIPM Chemistry Department, who acted as co-editor for this particular issue of the KCDB Newsletter.
To improve future editions of the KCDB Newsletter, please send your feedback to BIPM.KCDB@bipm.org so that we may meet your specific interests and concerns.
