Registrations are now open for two UTC summer schools in 2025 as part of the Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency (CCTF) programme of capacity building by resource sharing.
These workshops are designed to support institutes contributing to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through participation in BIPM Circular T and the Key Comparison CCTF-K001.UTC.

BIPM UTC Summer School
Set for the week before the 24th meeting of the CCTF, this workshop aims to provide both foundational and in-depth technical training to help institutes enhance their national standard time realization and further strengthen their UTC contributions.
