Resumo: Europe aims to maintain its leading role as a sustainable, fair, and competitive advanced economy embracing a swift and inclusive transition towards environmentally sustainable lifestyles and economies. A Green and Digital transition is being envisaged to keep the planet liveable and seize economic opportunities, where digital technologies will play a crucial role in achieving climate neutrality and reducing pollution, by measuring and controlling inputs with increased automation. Also, increased connectivity and integration provided by the internet of things, smart systems and smart cities, requires strengthen the flexibility of systems and networks, and new products, services and businesses. Thus, the need to have measurement in the centre of the process of green and digital transition is obvious, to ensure safety and quality for products traceability, requiring standards and conformity assessment, enhancing the pillars of the quality infrastructure where metrology, testing and inspection laboratories are key. In Metrology, data acquisition and treatment will remain as core activities to ensure the quality and validity of results, but larger volumes of data have a potential that is not available using common software tools, so that Artificial Intelligence tools and calibration through machine-readable harmonized digital formats are critical to cope with the new metrology ecosystem.
