Nowadays, Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) play a very important role in all science domains and industry. The involved researchers around the world from universities, metrology institutes, and industry work on the development of new accurate measurement techniques, very low uncertainty instruments, and smart sensors and the evaluation of their performances. Also, current measurement standards are analyzed and improved. New solutions for sensing and measurement related to challenges in biomedicine, environment, and food production are developed. Special attention is given to the educational aspect. Thus, the students should learn about the recent developments in the I&M field to gain skills in their application. In this special issue of the I&M Magazine, eight papers from researchers in Central and Eastern Europe (IEEE Region 8) were invited. These papers deal with the above I&M aspects.
