About the 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
NEWS: The 2010 Call for proposals for Joint Research Projects is now open
In February EURAMET e.V. announced the launch of the 2010 call for the following topic areas within the European Metrology Research Programme, jointly funded by the European Commission and the participating countries:
- Metrology for Industry
- Metrology for Environment
Stage 2, the Call for proposals for Joint Research Projects (JRP), which may include proposals for Researcher Excellence Grants, is now open
Stage 3 of the Call, Researcher Excellence and Researcher Mobility Grants will be available to the wider community. This stage will be open following the completion of Stage 2, indicative date is mid 2011.
Further to these stages there will be a permanent open call for Early-Stage Researcher Mobility Grants.
The JRPs will be executed primarily by the National Metrology Institutes and Designated Institutes, who form part of the formal National Measurement System, in the participating countries. Additionally, where it is appropriate, other bodies are able to participate in the projects (without funding). A limited number of funded researcher grants will also be available to the wider community. For more details visit the call webpage
