EUROPEAN METROLOGY PROGRAMME
FOR INNOVATION AND RESEARCH EMPIR
The main activities of EMPIR shall consist of the following joint research and
technological development actions:
A scientific-technical programme which supports fundamental scientific
metrology
applied metrology research
metrology related services;
Metrology research for energy, environment and health;
Research into novel measurement instrumentation aiming at industrial take-up
of metrological technologies to stimulate innovation in industry;
Pre-normative and co-normative metrology research and development for
priority standards aiming to use the expertise of metrology institutes in Europe
to support policy implementation and accelerate innovative products and
services to market;
Metrology capacity-building activities on different technological levels aiming to
achieve a balanced and integrated metrology system in Europe.

EUROPEAN METROLOGY PROGRAMME
FOR INNOVATION AND RESEARCH EMPIR
The main activities shall be carried out by NMI and DI.
EMPIR shall encourage and support the participation of other
entities. This approach is expected to lead to around 15% of the
budget of EMPIR going to those entities.
