IMPLEMENTING METROLOGY IN THE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA – THE iMERA PROJECT
Luc Erard
Abstract:
Advances in metrology underpin innovation, enable improvements in quality of life, and unlock potential from other areas of science. Increased demand for top-level metrology in traditional areas, allied with the need to support emerging areas of technology, requires a new approach from the European NMIs. Increasing levels of cooperation in R&D will enable the NMIs to significantly improve impact from funding that can not reasonably expected to keep pace with demand growth. Within the iMERA project a coordinated European Metrology Research Programme will be prepared and the institutional and legal conditions for its implementation will be generated.
