Short information on Metrology and EMRP

Metrology, the science of measurement, plays a role in virtually all areas of human life: from consumer protection, trade, industrial production to areas such as energy, environment, health, security, communications & transport.

EMRP, European Metrology Research Programme, implemented by EURAMET, European Association of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) (under Article185), enables NMIs, industrial organisations and academia to collaborate on joint metrology research projects.

Metrology is a key enabling tool for fundamental research & innovation in other areas !

EMRP → Calls in (2009 – 2013)

Still possible to use mobility grants (up to 2017)

Short information on EMPIR

EMPIR, European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research : successor of EMRP that will be implemented by EURAMET on the basis of Article 185

EMPIR will

• address Grand Challenges mostly in the areas of energy, environment & health

• open up collaborative research with other research organisations, industry, and metrology Institutes inside and outside Europe.

EMPIR → Calls in (2014 – 2020)

EMPIR will continue to enable European metrology institutes, industrial organisations

and academia to collaborate on joint research projects within specified fields.

Types of Participation in EMRP

For Organisations

Funded: “Partly funded” (NMIs & DIs in EMRP Participating state)

Unfunded (any organisation in the world)

Collaborator (any organisation in the world)

Mobility Grant (Organisation REG) – Fully FUNDED (EU member or Assoc. to FP)

For Individuals (Fully FUNDED + allowances !)

Mobility Grants

REG (High level SEA researchers can apply to do the work in Europe)

RMG (Currently, SEA researchers working in Europe can apply)

ESRMG (For researchers of NMI, DI, JRC in Europe)

T. Yandayan - 6

EMRP Mobility supports

• At least 4 years of relevant research experience

• High level SEA researchers can be employed by home organisation located in Europe

to do the JRP (Joint Research Project) work (1-3 years)

• Salary (4500-6800)€/month + Research and traning allowance 800€/month.

• Family allowance 300€/month

• Other allowances for travelling or visiting to other organisations

• 700€/month overhead for Home organisation

REG (Researcher Excellence Grant)

Individual REG (criteria considering SEA researchers)

T. Yandayan - 7

EMRP Mobility supports

• Researchers at any stage of his/her carreer

• SEA researchers working in Europe (keeping their working contract in employing

organisation) can apply to do a work in Guestworking organisation in another

country of Europe (1-18 months).

• Living allowance 1800€/month + Family allowance 300€/month,

• Other allowances for travell and visiting etc.

• 200€/month overhead for guestworking organisation

RMG (Researcher Mobility Grant)

T. Yandayan - 8

EMRP Mobility supports

RMG (Researcher Mobility Grant)

Proposal for adding the

International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC)

THEN, SEA researchers working in SEA (keeping their working contract in

employing organisation) can apply to do a work in Guestworking

organisation in Europe (1-18 months).

Example for SEA Organisation being in EMRP Project

• Based on the information on Task 2.6 report, Thailand (NIMT) and Indonesia (KIM-

LIPI) were invited to EMRP Project proposal “ANGLE METROLOGY” in 2012.

• Both NMIs have state of the art facilities in Angle Metrology established by

Japanese aid programme !
