Supporting Mathematical and Statistical Applications for European Metrology and Digital Transformation

The European Metrology Network for Mathematics and Statistics (EMN Mathmet) strengthens Europe’s measurement infrastructure by providing expertise in mathematics and statistics. Its vision is to build trust in algorithms, software tools and data, and in the conclusions drawn from them – supporting digital transformation and helping tackle major societal challenges such as health, energy, and climate change.

Francesca Pennecchi, the EMN Mathmet Chair, comments:

“In the fast digital transformation we are facing, with an increased use of intelligent systems, smart sensors, digital twins and data-driven models, EMN Mathmet aims to support the metrological community and its stakeholders, assuring confidence in measurement results and their digital equivalents. To provide such confidence, modelling, evaluation and teaching of measurement uncertainty, as well as assuring the quality of software, data and guidelines is of fundamental importance. This is why the EMN continues providing support in these fields.”

EMN Mathmet publishes latest Version of their Quality Assurance Tools

The latest release of the EMN Mathmet Quality Assurance Tools (QATs) is now available on the network’s website. The QATs provide a structured approach to ensuring that research outputs in the form of data, software, and guidelines are reliable, consistent, and fit for purpose, with practical frameworks and interactive checklists. They are designed to support National Metrology Institutes, Designated Institutes, and their partners in delivering trusted results that meet international quality standards. Feedback and ideas for further improvements are warmly welcomed.

Strengthening Measurement Uncertainty Training in Europe

Since 2021, EMN Mathmet’s 'Measurement Uncertainty Training' (MU training) activity has become a key reference point for education in this field. Recent outputs include a cross-sectoral study on training needs and a new searchable database of courses – both aimed at making high-quality learning on uncertainty more accessible across Europe.

EMN Mathmet fosters Digital Transformation in Metrology

In March 2025, EMN Mathmet co-organised the EURAMET Spring Camp on Digitalisation, alongside the Working Group on Metrology for Digital Transformation (M4D) and the Technical Committee for Interdisciplinary Metrology (TC-IM). The event gathered valuable input for revising EURAMET’s digital transformation strategy. Additionally, EMN Mathmet members are leading four new research projects, launched in 2025, with a strong focus on the digital challenges in their respective field of application. These projects cover areas from trustworthy AI tools and digital twins in MRI to smart measurements, reliable power grid analytics, and gas metering for renewable energy.

EMN Mathmet connects experts at key events in 2025

In October 2025, EMN Mathmet will host its own international conference and also ran a special session at the ENBIS Annual Conference in Greece in September 2025. Both events bring together experts to exchange ideas on mathematics, statistics, and trustworthy measurements.
