Open Call for Stage 1 Applications to submit potential research ideas to the European Partnership on Metrology

The European Partnership on Metrology is a research programme that is operated by EURAMET. The funded cutting-edge research projects will help provide effective metrological solutions to technological and societal challenges, as well as increase collaborative research between industry and academia. Overall, these advances in the field of metrology will help to support European goals such as the European Green Deal and digital transformation, and ensure that the European metrology system is internationally competitive. Applications for Stage 1 of the 2023 Call are now open – don’t miss to submit potential research ideas!

EURAMET has operated several funding programmes which, since 2007, have contributed 1 billion euro to innovative metrology research. Previous programmes include the European Metrology Research programme (EMRP) and the European Metrology Programme for innovation and Research (EMPIR), which together funded 362 joint research projects (JRPs).

Building on previous success, the European Partnership on Metrology was formed as part of Horizon Europe, which is a funding programme for research and innovation from the European Commission. The Metrology Partnership will run from 2021 to 2027 and has an expected budget of 690 million euro that is co-financed by the European Union and the participating states.

Participating in the 2023 Call

There are two stages for submitting joint research projects. During Stage 1, anyone can submit a potential research topic (PRT) corresponding to one of the four themes for Call 2023, which are described below. Submissions can also be put forward in collaboration with National Metrology Institutes. Applications are now open and will close on 20 of February 2023.

A proportion of these PRTs will then proceed as selected research topics (SRTs). During Stage 2, consortia form and submit proposals to receive funding for joint research projects (JRPs) against these selected research topics via the Partnership website. For groups who wish to collaborate and join consortia for certain SRTs, contact information will be made available on the website in advance of the second call stage being open. Stage 2 for Call 2023 will open on 23 of June 2023 and will close on 2 of October 2023.
