The Strategic Research Agenda for Metrology in Europe (SRA) has been developed to provide a high level strategic view of measurement capability requirements which may be delivered not just by the European Metrology Programmes, EMRP and EMPIR, but by the wider research community involved in measurement-related programmes regionally, nationally and internationally.

The SRA has been prepared by EURAMET with inputs from the EURAMET Technical Committees and Task Groups in consultation with their stakeholders. To engage the broader stakeholder communities in the development of the SRA, the document was subject to an open consultation in 2015 from which valuable comments and suggestions were received. Now the document is finalised and published on the EURAMET website www.euramet.org/sra.

"I hope people will find the document of interest and value. We would welcome opportunities to work with our partners and wider stakeholder groups in the implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda", explains Kamal Hossain (NPL, UK), member of the EURAMET core group for the SRA. The document includes the main topics 'Metrology to Address European Grand Challenges and Support Innovation', 'Metrology Research Supporting the Redefinition, Realisation and Dissemination of the SI and Derived Units' and investigates possibilities to increase the impact of metrology.
