2. DIs on their role in the CIPM MRA and EURAMET’s expectations to them.

3. NMIs for an effective cooperation with DIs within the national metrology system.

4. EURAMET TC’s and authorities for the effective integration of DIs to the activities of EURAMET

Research Potential Projects: Guiding Principles

Objective of RPOT:

The objective of RPOT as a CB instrument is the development of the potential for metrology research and/or the establishment of a competitive metrology infrastructure, responding to an existing gap in emerging EURAMET member countries or regions. One specific aim is that as a result of RPOTs, participating organisations would have the capability to eventually participate in EMPIR JRPs should they choose to do so, and this might eventually provide input to other aspects such as research, innovation and patenting.


RPot Projects: Call scope

In order to respond to an existing capability gap in emerging EURAMET member countries and regions, Capacity Building instruments have been included within EMPIR. The overall strategic aim of the metrology capacity-building activities on different technological levels is to achieve a balanced and integrated metrology system in the participating states, enabling them to develop their scientific and technical capabilities in metrology. Competitive metrology capabilities affect all other aspects of the technical quality infrastructure of the participating NMIs and DIs, therefore directly contributing to increased European economic welfare.

Research Potential Projects (RPOTs) are a Capacity Building instrument for the development of the potential for metrology research of the participating organisations which will subsequently provide input to other aspects of technology transfer, innovation and all other aspects of research.




RPot Projects: Call scope

The needs identified within the Potential Research Topics (PRTs) should recognise that RPOTs will be demand oriented, will have a European dimension and critical mass, will focus on EURAMET’s internal infrastructure and expertise to provide appropriate internal knowledge transfer to emerging members, will be based on horizontal collaboration for the development of new metrological infrastructures in a coordinated way ("smart specialisation") and will need to demonstrate significant impact to the entire quality infrastructure.

RPOTs should include some research and development activities and in this respect they differ from the technical assistance nature of cooperation, however they do not need to address fundamental scientific challenges.

An important element of RPOTs is the collaboration between NMIs/DIs that are less experienced in a relevant field with NMIs/DIs with greater experience, with the aim of establishing and developing metrology capabilities and the potential for metrology research.




Research Potential Projects: Guiding Principles

Participation in RPOT:Same rules as for JRPs

1. Partners on contractual basis: - funded internal partner: EMPIR-member NMI or DI- funded external partner (not to exceed 5%)- unfunded partner

2. Collaborators:Open to NMIs and DI from any EURAMET Member (not EMPIR-member)

• Minimum 3 funded internal partners from different countries

• KT-aspect: “Experienced NMI supports emerging NMI(s)”

• No funding of significant capital equipmentEquipment must be available when project is starting
