EMN for Clean Energy established

EURAMET's European Metrology Network for Clean Energy is now officially established.

 

The network will cover a range of topics including the generation, storage, conversion, and utilisation of renewable energy sources. The initial focus will include generation and utilisation of solar and wind energy, efficiency of use, photovoltaic, wind power and temporary energy storage.

TC Flow Summer School 2024

The 2024 Summer School will give metrologists new to the field of gas flow, liquid flow, fluid speed (velocity) and liquid volume measurements an introductory overview of the current international metrology standards.

The course is primarily aimed at those in EURAMET NMIs or DIs who have less than two years of experience in the field of flow and related metrology areas or who need to gain initial experience in these measurements.

EURAMET NMI & DI Participants should register by 17 May 2024.
