MEDEA 3.0 – The End of the project

Ten years of cooperation between PTB APMP and APLMF are coming to an end. On March 27, 2025, the online final workshop of the MEDEA 3.0 Project took place. Together, we look back on great years of collaboration.

In the final phase of the project, we had a lot of work to do together after the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past three years, we held more than 17 online workshops and 18 in-person training sessions and implemented many great joint projects. These included a series of awareness-raising training sessions, which resulted in nine policy briefs and ten case studies. These can be found on the joint web portal of APMP, APLMF, and PTB: https://metrologyasiapacific.com/. From the beginning of May, you will also find three guidelines here on communication in metrology, the creation of e-learning courses, and stakeholder management. These will remain available after the official end of the project (the official end date of the project is April 30, 2025).

We would also like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the e-learning courses that we have jointly developed. Seven of these courses have been created over the last three years: Pre-packaged goods, measuring the moisture content of rice, checking truck scales, calibrating infusion pumps, measurement models, calibrating liquid and digital thermometers, and moisture measurement and calibration. All these modules are available free of charge on the PTB e-learning platform https://www.qi-learning.ptb.de. To access the courses, please contact us with your name and email address: For APLMF: policy@aplmf.org or secretariat@aplmf.org. For APMP: angela.samuel@measurement.gov.au. APMP and APLMF are also working on making these available on the BIPM and OIML e-learning websites.

At the end of the MEDEA 3.0 project, all that remains is to say thank you. Thank you very much for all your cooperation, for the expertise you have contributed and shared, and for all your commitment. All of this has contributed significantly to the success of the project and we could not have done it without you.
