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 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
EMRP Call 2009, "to advance measurement science and technology in the field of Energy", is now in progress
EURAMET e.V. and the EMRP members have invited ideas for potential research topics for R&D projects to advance measurement science and technology in the field of Energy. This Call offerred the chance for all stakeholders from any country to influence the R&D undertaken by the European metrology community.
Stage 1 of the Call for potential metrology research topics closed on 28 June 2009 and call details have been archived. The highest priority research topics received in Stage 1 will provide the basis for Stage 2.
Stage 2, the Call for proposals for Joint Research Projects (JRP), which may include proposals for Researcher Excellence Grants, closed on 2 November 2009 and call details have been archived.
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 early 2010.
Further to these stages there will be a permanent open call for Early-Stage Researcher Mobility Grants. This call will be open following the completion of Stage 2, indicative date is early 2010.
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
