A measurement infrastructure for Europe
EURAMET e.V. is the Regional Metrology Organisation (RMO) of Europe, representing a membership made up of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs). Our mission is to develop and disseminate an integrated, cost-effective and internationally competitive measurement infrastructure for Europe, considering the needs of industry, business and governments. Through knowledge transfer and collaborative research, we facilitate the cooperation of our members and associates in their dissemination of measurement standards and provision of metrological solutions to key societal challenges in fields such as health, energy and the environment. 

Impactful collaboration with industry and academia

Since 2007, EURAMET has operated a series of research programmes that enables members to collaborate with each other and with industry and academia, to solve key challenges of metrological interest. Combined, these programmes have already provided 1.738 billion euro of support; co-funded by the Member States and the EU as part of Framework 7, Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe initiatives.

The European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) funded 119 joint research projects and nearly 400 additional researcher grants, and the follow-on European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) resulted in 243 joint research projects, and the development of a number of European Metrology Networks. Case studies, of impressive range and significance in terms of impact, are available to read and download, each highlighting examples of the external benefits delivered by the EMRP and EMPIR programmes.

European Partnership on Metrology
The European Partnership on Metrology (Metrology Partnership) builds on the earlier programmes (EMRP and EMPIR) and is co-funded by the Member States and the EU (under the Horizon Europe initiative), with a budget of around 690 million euro. The programme, running from 2021 to 2027, funds research that helps to move Europe towards a green, climate neutral and digital future, as well as to strengthen the resilience, competitiveness, and economic growth across European industry.  

The Metrology Partnership is expected deliver significant benefits by supporting a wide range of policy initiatives, strengthening commercial interests and advancing key European challenges. To do this, the Metrology Partnership will create a sustainable and effective system for metrology at a European level that ensures Europe has a world-class metrology system that:

• Provides metrology solutions, fundamental metrological reference data and methods, offering fit-for-purpose solutions supporting and stimulating European innovation and responding to societal challenges

• Supports and enables effective design and implementation of regulation and standards that underpin public policies that address societal challenges
