EMPIR

European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research

Basic Information

Description

EMPIR is the main programme for European research on metrology. It coordinates research projects to address grand challenges, while supporting and developing the SI system of measurement units.
EMPIR follows on from the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP), which issued its final call for projects in 2013. There is an increased focus within EMPIR on innovation activities to target the needs of industry and accelerate the uptake of research outputs.
The inclusion of capacity-building activities in EMPIR is helping to bridge the gap between countries with emerging metrology systems and those with more developed capabilities


Main research priorities of the network

EMPIR Joint Research Projects resulting from calls for proposals will focus on priority areas, known as Targeted Programmes, to address the EU's Grand Challenges in Health, Energy, Environment and Industry, and to progress fundamental measurement science.
