EMRP projects addressing Grand Challenges
Healthcare
Metrology improves health care e.g. by earlier detection of
diseases and patient protection e.g. from radiation, and
fosters the competitiveness of related European industries
and services.
Metrology for energy supports the successful implementation
of smart electrical grids in Europe or improves efficiency in
traditional power plants with a considerable impact on
reducing energy consumption and reduction of emissions.
Energy
Metrology for environment provides improved
measurements for better understanding of the Earth’s
weather and climate. It makes space-based measurements
consistent for comparisons with data from other sources.

EURAMET TG on “Metrology for Environment”
to monitor and report to EURAMET on new perspectives, emerging needs, projects and
activities related to metrological traceability, quality assurance, reference methods and
calibration procedures for environmental measurements;
to advise EURAMET in cooperating with other RMOs, institutions, organizations,
committees, scientific communities, users’ associations and other stakeholders, in order to
provide guidance to an appropriate approach to traceability and good practice in metrology
for environment;
to consider the most effective means by which TCs involved in climate and environmental
activities should cooperate in order to establish a common response to the stated needs of
the communities working in environmental science;
to support EURAMET in encouraging NMIs to work with the relevant environmental
networks to support a monitoring framework for traceable environmental data over long
temporal terms and wide spatial scales based on best practice metrology;
EMPIR Work Programme
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
Metrology research underpins the
management of natural resources by
developing the ability to measure our
environment.
The projects funded from the 2010 and
2013 EMRP Calls were directed at climate
change, air quality, water quality, and
radioactive waste.
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
This Call again focuses on metrological
research to improve the quality of data to
stimulate technological innovation, and to
disseminate traceability to, and make
traceable measurements in, the field.
It also aims to underpin other
environmental research initiatives through
collaborative metrological research and
development
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
This call addresses both
• local environmental challenges and
• global metrological challenges for climate
monitoring
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
It addresses both local environmental
challenges such as those related to:
• contamination of water, air and soil
• radiation measurement and protection,
and acoustic noise
• local pollutions and emissions
measurements
• monitoring of key parameters to detect
local climate evolution
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
and global metrological challenges for
climate monitoring such as those related
to:
• the essential climate variables of the
atmosphere, land and water, including
their constituents,
• contamination, transport and other
parameters, and their time evolution and
comparability
Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016)
and:
• emission control; measurement of gases
and particles that have an effect on
climate and health
• validated remote sensing for
environmental and climate monitoring.
• measurements in extreme environments
and challenging conditions
EURAMET wishes to put a focus on
reliable climate data and especially
welcomes proposals enabling the
establishment of a long-term European
NMI/DI network coordinating the
measurement infrastructure in this area
and links to a potential global network, in
collaboration with user communities.
To enhance the impact of the R&D work,
the involvement of the user community
such as industry, academia, meteorology
and climate research, standardisation and
regulatory bodies, as appropriate, is
strongly recommended.
