about
Measuring by light
First held in 2013, Measuring By Light is a multidisciplinary conference where both industry and academics come together to discuss the application of (optical) measurement techniques as well as solutions.


The concept
We always aim to provide a highly technical and academic programme on state-of-the-art optical measuring techniques from a wide variety of fields. Additionally, we believe it is important to offer a formal atmosphere and the right networking tools, enabling our participants to actively expand their network.
Why you should attend?
- MBL offers a very balanced participation from academics and industry (about 50%-50% share). Most other conferences focus either on academics or industry with limited interaction between both communities.
- Expect outstanding networking activities, such as speed matching and poster presentations. Our networking approach resulted in numerous collaborations and projects over the past years.
- Workshop on 30th of March, presenting the latest State-of-the-art and future measurement systems. Application training and sample measurements.
- Covering various essential topics, focussing on application areas (vibrometry, MEMS, civil engineering, automotive, transformers, micro-structures, and many more).
- A limited number of participants in order to create an informal atmosphere and stimulate interaction between participants.
- A limited number of parallel sessions.
