Prof. Dr. Ludwik Finkelstein, Measurement and Instrumentation Centre, City University , London, UNITED KINGDOM.

Ludwik Finkelstein has been the initiator, the main proponent, and an active and effective promoter of what we are now used to call measurement science, a new and fundamental vision about the role of measurement in the scientific endeavour and, broadly speaking, about the relations between measurement and knowledge. Even the very concept of the measurement field as a science, at a critical and pivotal interface point with engineering and technology, has been a fruitful intuition that can be found in many of Ludwik's works.
