Network for Innovation and Research in Metrology for the Automotive Industry (RIIMSA) in Mexico

Abstract

Net work for Innovation and Research in Metrology for the Automotive Industry (RIIMSA) in Mexico. The Network for Innovation and Research in Metrology for the Automotive Industry in Mexico (RIIMSA) was created to solve the growing metrology needs of the automotive sector in the central plateau of Mexico, which includes the states of Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and Querétaro. The largest Mexican automotive based suppliers are found in these three states. This initiative was proposed by the Polytechnic University at Santa Rosa Jauregui (UPSRJ) and supported by the Council of Science and Technology of Querétaro (CONCYTEQ) and the National Metrology Institute of Mexico (CENAM).The purpose of the network is to strengthen the bonds between the scientific and technological capabilities in the region, in order to generate synergies among network members, automotive sector, government, other national and international networks and society. RIIMSA is aiming to impact on the training of human capital, research and development of innovative projects in the field of metrology.
