The aim of this call is to advance measurement science and technology in the following areas:
- Metrology for Industry
- SI Broader Scope
- Open Excellence
by providing funding for Joint Research Projects (JRPs) and researcher grants.
The JRPs will be executed primarily by the National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs), who form part of the formal National Measurement System, in the countries participating in the EMRP. Additionally, where it is appropriate, other bodies are able to participate in the projects (without funding). A limited number of researcher grants will also be available to the wider research community.
The call is structured in a number of stages.
- Stage 1: Call for potential metrology research topics (PRTs), (02 February -18 March)
- Stage 2: Call for proposals for Joint Research Projects (JRPs), with optional integrated Researcher Excellence Grant application (18 June - 01 October)
- Stage 3: Researcher Excellence Grants (REGs) and Researcher Mobility Grants (RMGs) (Spring 2013).
In addition there is an open call for Early-Stage Researcher Mobility Grants (ESRMGs)
