The following topics were touched upon in the presentations of the VNIIM participants:
• current trends attending the development of metrological provision of micro- and nanoelectronic industries (K. Gogolinskiy, K. Chekirda);
• metrological provision of inertial measurements (A. Yankovskiy);
• metrological provision of hydrometeorological heliogeophysical complexes of spacecrafts (I.Alexeev);
• metrological investigations of medical microsources based on I-125 radionuclide produced in Russia and used in brachytherapy (A. Villevalde).

These presentations of scientists of VNIIM provoked an interactive discussion and raised real interest to the issues at stake.
