IMERA-PLUS Implementing Metrology in the European Research Area -Plus

Coordinator: EURAMET EV - EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL METROLOGY INSTITUTES (DE)

The central nerve in the spine of our high-tech world is metrology, the science of measurement. Ever more precise and reliable measurements are essential in our daily lives, and to drive innovation within our knowledge based economy. What we cannot measure, we do not understand properly, and cannot control nor manufacture or process reliably. Thus advances in metrology have a profound impact on our understanding of and ability to shape the world around us. Building on the existing “iMERA” ERA-NET this action will implement the first chapter of a cohesive and strategic joint European Metrology…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €21.0M toward a total project budget of €64.9M — a funding rate of 32%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2007-06-01 to 2012-05-31.
