GAMBICA joins the Sensors Knowledge Transfer Network

GAMBICA has become an active supporter of the Sensors Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), through its involvement with the KTN's Advanced Instrumentation Special Interest Group.

A new partnership was recently formed between a number of organisations including Gambica in order to increase the resources being dedicated to the Advanced Instrumentation sector. This new partnership recognises and cements the strategic importance of Advanced Instrumentation to the UK economy.

The Sensors KTN is the national sensing network; uniting the talent and expertise of the whole of the UK's sensing community, from academics and large industries, to small businesses, research councils, and government departments. It embraces all sensing activity, from fundamental measurement principles to instrumentation, data processing, devices and innovative applications.

The Advanced Instrumentation Special Interest Group (AISIG) will establish a UK community in the instrumentation sector and encourage UK industry and academics to develop innovative technologies, interact throughout the supply chain, and compete on the world stage.

The Sensors KTN is managed on behalf of DTI by the National Physical Laboratory and Qi3 .
