Founded in 1944 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1975, The Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC) is committed to promoting the professional excellence of engineers and technologists at all levels in measurement and control and related industries. Its aims are to advance the science and practice of measurement and control technologies and their various applications, to foster the exchange of views and the communication of knowledge and ideas in these activities, and to promote the professional qualification and standing of its members. The Institute is therefore both a learned society and a professional qualifying body occupying a niche, particularly in the automation-focused industries.
The Institute is the member body, for the UK, with the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO) and is the secretariat to the United Kingdom Automatic Control Council (UKACC).
Message from The Vice Chairman, Qualification & Membership
It gives the greatest pleasure to the Local Section of The
Institute of Measurement and Control (The Institute) to have Dr Patrick Finlay,

opened the speech by expressing his gratitude to the successful event, there
was about 80 people as far as I could remember. Dr Patrick Finlay did
emphasise the focal points of The Institute, on top of the development areas of
sensors, would be Automation, Big Data, IoT, Robotics, etc. with an
aim to be one of the leaders of the advanced technology professional
bodies. This message is indeed a great support not only for the healthy
growth of The Institute, but is all about legacy. The knowledge and
wisdom that we could bring to our next generation. Moreover, the
responsibility of building the world a better place to live for our kids.
