EMPIR CALL 2016: FINALISATION OF EVALUATION PROCESS

The evaluation process of the Stage 2 Call for 2016 has been finalised.

Following the Review Conference held in November, where external independent referees evaluated and ranked the proposals, the EMPIR Committee agreed on a final list of selected projects to fund. The following project proposals have been selected and will be invited for contract negotiation:

Energy
Metrology for hydrogen vehicles
Advanced PV energy rating
Metrology for complex thin film materials with energy applications
Metrology for smart energy management in electric railway systems
Metrology for advanced energy-saving technology in next-generation electronics applications
Metrology for biomethane
Multiphase flow reference metrology
Metrology for inductive charging of electric vehicles
Metrological support for LNG and LBG as transport fuel

Environment
Metrology for oxidised mercury
Metrology for light absorption by atmospheric aerosols
Further metrology for earth observation and climate
Metrology for mobile detection of ionising radiation following a nuclear or radiological incident
Metrology for nitrogen dioxide
Metrology for stable isotope reference standards
Metrology for air pollutant emissions
Aerosol metrology for atmospheric science and air quality
In situ metrology for decommissioning nuclear facilities
Metrology for radon monitoring

Normative
