EMRP

The European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) is a metrology-focused European programme of coordinated R&D that facilitates closer integration of national research programmes. The EMRP is jointly supported by the European Commission and the participating countries within the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET e.V.). The EMRP will ensure collaboration between National Measurement Institutes, reducing duplication and increasing impact. The overall goal of the EMRP is to accelerate innovation and competitiveness in Europe whilst continuing to provide essential support to underpin the quality of our lives.

The EMRP is a long-term programme for high quality joint R&D amongst the metrology community in Europe.

Phase 1 is supported by the European Commission through ERA-NET Plus.

Phase 2 is supported by the European Commission through Article 169 of the European Treaty.

An indication of the fields to be covered, and the schedule for the calls are given on the EURAMET website. Further information on the EURAMET activities, including background information on the EMRP, is available at EURAMET website.

In 2012 there will be three new calls in the field of industry, SI Broader Scope and Open Excellence. These could be of interest for you, as a potential stakeholder. For more informatie click here.
