In many countries, Designated Institutes (DI) play an essential role in developing and maintaining the national metrology infrastructure. It is EURAMET’s objective to further extend and strengthen the collaboration with the DIs to get them effectively and fully integrated in the EURAMET community and its activities, as well as stimulating their role to actively and creatively contribute to the metrology developments at their national levels.
On Thursday 18th and Friday 19th of February 2016 EURAMET is organising a workshop on ‘Challenges for full integration of DIs within EURAMET’.

The event aims in first instance at DIs, but also addresses NMI representatives, national designating and financing authorities and EURAMET Technical Committee chairs. It is the goal of the workshop to achieve a good understanding on the specific needs and expectations of the different communities and to establish an effective communication for the future.

Topics of the workshop are:

• EURAMET organisation, opportunities and benefits for participation in EURAMET committees and R&D programmes (EMPIR);
• CIPM MRA, CMC processes, QMS, accreditation;
• CIPM, EURAMET and national responsibilities and authorities and
• Success stories of EURAMET members / NMIs and DIs.

The event will be hosted by the Danish National Metrology Institute DFM in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark.
