20000standarden

20000standarden is a Dutch non-profit organization that promotes the use of the metric system, also known as the International System of Units (SI). Founded in 1995, the organization aims to educate the public about the benefits of the metric system and to encourage its adoption in everyday life. The name "20000standarden" is derived from the number of different units of measurement in the Dutch language, which the organization seeks to reduce to a more manageable number.

The organization's activities include public campaigns, educational programs, and advocacy efforts. It works to raise awareness about the advantages of the metric system, such as its simplicity, consistency, and global acceptance. 20000standarden also advocates for the metric system in policy-making and international organizations.

The organization's efforts have been recognized internationally, and it has received support from various governments and international bodies. Despite its focus on the metric system, 20000standarden also acknowledges the importance of other measurement systems and promotes multilingualism and cultural diversity. The organization continues to be an active voice in the global effort to standardize measurement systems and improve international cooperation in this area.
