Metrology improves health care e.g. by earlier detection of diseases and patient protection e.g. from radiation, and fosters the competitiveness of related European industries and services. Healthcare Energy Metrology for energy supports the successful implementation of smart electrical grids in Europe or improves efficiency in traditional power plants with a considerable impact on reducing energy consumption and reduction of emissions. Environment Metrology for environment provides improved measurements for better understanding of the Earth’s weather and climate. It makes space-based measurements consistent for comparisons with data from other sources.

EURAMET TG on “Metrology for Environment”  to monitor and report to EURAMET on new perspectives, emerging needs, projects and activities related to metrological traceability, quality assurance, reference methods and calibration procedures for environmental measurements;  to advise EURAMET in cooperating with other RMOs, institutions, organizations, committees, scientific communities, users’ associations and other stakeholders, in order to provide guidance to an appropriate approach to traceability and good practice in metrology for environment;  to consider the most effective means by which TCs involved in climate and environmental activities should cooperate in order to establish a common response to the stated needs of the communities working in environmental science;  to support EURAMET in encouraging NMIs to work with the relevant environmental networks to support a monitoring framework for traceable environmental data over long temporal terms and wide spatial scales based on best practice metrology;

EMPIR Work Programme Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) Metrology research underpins the management of natural resources by developing the ability to measure our environment. The projects funded from the 2010 and 2013 EMRP Calls were directed at climate change, air quality, water quality, and radioactive waste.

Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) This Call again focuses on metrological research to improve the quality of data to stimulate technological innovation, and to disseminate traceability to, and make traceable measurements in, the field. It also aims to underpin other environmental research initiatives through collaborative metrological research and development

Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) This call addresses both local environmental challenges and global metrological challenges for climate monitoring

Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) It addresses both local environmental challenges such as those related to: contamination of water, air and soil radiation measurement and protection, and acoustic noise local pollutions and emissions measurements monitoring of key parameters to detect local climate evolution

Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) and global metrological challenges for climate monitoring such as those related to: the essential climate variables of the atmosphere, land and water, including their constituents, contamination, transport and other parameters, and their time evolution and comparability

Call Scope – Metrology for Environment (2016) and: emission control; measurement of gases and particles that have an effect on climate and health validated remote sensing for environmental and climate monitoring. measurements in extreme environments and challenging conditions

EURAMET wishes to put a focus on reliable climate data and especially welcomes proposals enabling the establishment of a long-term European NMI/DI network coordinating the measurement infrastructure in this area and links to a potential global network, in collaboration with user communities.

To enhance the impact of the R&D work, the involvement of the user community such as industry, academia, meteorology and climate research, standardisation and regulatory bodies, as appropriate, is strongly recommended.
