iMERA
A European Commission “ERA-NET” Coordinating Action
• Consortium
• 20 partners from 14 countries
• 14 NMIs, plus JRC-IRMM
• 5 Ministries as formal partners
• 3 Years duration
• Start date 1st April 2005

Research
• Objective is to increase impact from national investment in metrology R&D
• Approach:
– Exchange of information between national programmes will enable best practice to be identified and adopted Leading to a substantial increase in project level collaboration
– Strategic activities will lead to the launching of joint research projects, funded by the existing national programmes.
– Access to special metrological facilities available in just one or few countries
– Joint investments in new facilities explored.
• Final aim is a joint metrology R&D programme:
– Preparation of a European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP)
– Prospect of a joint action implementing the EMRP between the European Commission and interested countries utilising Article 169 of the European Treaty.

Research
• “Quick start” shared value pilot projects under way
• New Joint Research Projects protocol developed and 11 pilot JRPs launched
• Roadmaps developed covering existing and new metrology areas (41 drafts)
• Implementing a European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP)

T4.4 ‘Quick Start’ Project
Objectives of the Task:• Early launch of a pilot project using common funding
– Imposed by Commission…very late in the day!
• Test the practical aspects of managing centrally funded projects
• R&D complete by month 12, report on lessons learnt by month 15
– 1st quick start project launched “Study of a real-time control unit for JDAC arrays: application to watt balance experiments”, June 2005;
– 2nd quick start project launched “High temperature fixed points for contact thermometry: project Cockpit”, December 2005;

T 3.3 – Template JRPs
A new iMERA R&D project template tries to capture the helpful parts of an EU contract in a simpler form
The new form aims to set out for each project:• Clear technical and scientific objectives• Projected impact• Defined work programme• Partner responsibilities• Funding agreement• Deliverables with due dates• Identified and committed resources from the partners
against each work package
EU contract no 016220 iMERA - implementing Metrology in the European Research Area
Joint Research Projects
• Toward more accurate temperature fixed points (FR)
• Determination of an accurate Ttp vs x (isotopic) relationship for neon (IT)
• Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology: a European collaboration in research (IT)
• Recommendations for the calibration and evaluation of pH on site measuring instruments (FR)
• Use of the Temperature Amplifier as a new temperature standard for contact thermometry (IT)
• Improved Thermodynamic Temperature Measurement Capability for high-temperature blackbodies (DE)
• Measurement of acoustical impedance of artificial ears (GB)
• Tip and sample interactions in scanning probe microscopy (GB)
• New Determinations of the Boltzmann Constant (DE)
• Binary Josephson Array Power Standard (DE)
• High temperature fixed points for future temperature scale (GB)

EMRP Tasks – T4.1 – T5.1
Guiding principles and philosophy (1):
• Comply but not duplicate FP 7 requirements/content;• National R&D programmes basis;• Future oriented (new needs, domains, areas,..);• Balanced, if possible, R&D and support activities;• Balanced between horizontal themes and “SI units”;• Broad programmes (targeted programmes).
EU contract no 016220 iMERA - implementing Metrology in the European Research Area
EMRP Tasks – T4.1 – T5.1
Guiding principles and philosophy (2):
Emphasis on
• Networking and coordination of the national R&D programmes;
• Joint programmes delivered by NMIs and Dis;• Capacity building activities• Research and technological development (RTD);• Governance and management.
