The STAIR Group provides strategic advice to the two Technical Boards in order to reach an integrated approach between research, innovation and standardization.
Within the context of metrology research, CEN and CENELEC co-operate with EURAMET, the European Association of National Metrology Institutes by identifying metrology research needs identified during standardization.
Through the cooperation agreement between CEN-CENELEC and EURAMET, CEN and CENELEC are invited to submit metrology research needs in support of their standardization activities to EURAMET.
This practice was piloted in the context of the EMRP programme (EMRP - the European Metrology Research Programme), intensified and formalized in the context of EMPIR, the "European Metrology Programme for Research and Innovation" in the frame of Horizon 2020, and is now to continue within the context of the European Partnership on Metrology EPM under Horizon Europe.
Information on the European Partnership on Metrology and on the process through which the standardization community can contribute needs for metrology research is in this summary.
These needs for metrology research resulting from standardization can be communicated at any time during the year by using this submission form (docx format).
More information on previous calls is available from the Metrology Partnership website
