The EMRP:
• supports the collaboration of European metrology institutes, industrial organisations and academia through Joint Research Projects (JRPs).
• is implemented by EURAMET (European Association of National Metrology Institutes).
• is based on Article 185 of the Lisbon Treaty.
• is jointly funded by the EMRP participating countries and the European Union (50:50) and has a budget of approximately 400 M€ over seven years.
The EMRP:
• is structured around European Grand Challenges in: Health, Energy, the Environment & New Technologies, while also addressing challenges in fundamental metrology and industry.
• is about improving measurement, in order to drive innovation and competitiveness in Europe.
• ensures collaboration between National Measurement Institutes, reducing duplication and increasing impact. Current JRP impacts include: input to standards (ISO, CEN) and the redefinition of SI units and the production of reference materials, good practice guides and new measurement devices, software and facilities.

The EMRP Funds:
Multi-partner Joint Research Projects (JRPs).
• The JRPs are primarily undertaken by the National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs) of the countries participating in the EMRP.
• However, other organisations are able to participate in the JRPs with their own resources. They can participate as: o Unfunded JRP-Partners – part of the JRP-Consortium.
o JRP Collaborators .

The EMRP Funds:
• Researcher Grants offer financial support to the wider European research community. Three types of researcher grants supplement the JRPs: 1. Researcher Excellence Grants (REGs) – Individual and Organisation REGs provide funding for excellent research and bring expertise to the JRP from universities or other industrial organisations.
2. Researcher Mobility Grants – enable researchers to move between the National Metrology Institutes, especially from non-EMRP participating countries.
3. Early-Stage Researcher Mobility Grants – help develop the next generation of metrologists.

EMRP Calls
Energy - Calls in 2009 & 2013 SI Units - Calls in 2011 & 2012 Environment - Calls in 2010 & 2013 Health - Call in 2010 11 Industry - Calls in 2010 & 2012 New Technologies Call in 2011
Industry – Call 2012
Developing methods to improve traceability for the most demanding industrial measurements. Projects will support new and emerging technologies and improve efficiency of existing technologies. They should involve industrial partners and the transfer of technology and knowledge to end-users.

Industry JRP IND04
IND04: Ionising radiation metrology for the metallurgical industry
Preventing the spread of radiation in European steel
Millions of tonnes of scrap steel are produced each year, which could potentially be contaminated by radioactive sources. This JRP will produce new reference materials, methods and devices to improve the detection of radioactivity in scrap loads – reducing human health risks, trade disputes and environmental exposure across Europe.
13
Industry JRP IND07
IND07: Metrology for the manufacturing of thin films
Helping thin film technologies become a reality
Thin film materials possess novel properties not found in bulk materials that enable their use in flexible LCDs and solar panels. This JRP will improve the Nanoscale measurements needed to develop thin film technologies, improving our understanding of film properties and reducing material and energy costs.

Call 2012:
• Stage 1 - Call for Potential metrology Research Topics (PRT). Closed 18 th March.
• Stage 2 - Call for JRP proposals, with optional, integrated Researcher Excellence Grant applications. Full SRT documents are published with the Stage 2 call. The Call opens 18
th
June.
• Stage 3 - Call on behalf of the JRP-Consortia for Researcher Excellence Grant (REG) and Researcher Mobility Grant (RMG) applications. Each year stage 3 opens end of March and closes at the beginning of May. All JRPs from previous calls can advertise for REGs and RMGs.
