About MERA

Innovation in virtually all-scientific and technological fields often depends on the ability to make leading edge measurements. The MERA project developed the plans to optimise and increase significantly the impact of the underpinning European metrology research and exploitation effort by strengthening the coherence of national and EU funded activities. This in turn, will facilitate growth and competitiveness in Europe in all fields. The aim of the MERA project was to intensify current EUROMET research cooperation and lay the foundations for an integrated European Research Area (ERA) in metrology.

The work plan of the project is available.

The project started on 1 September 2002 and ran until November 2003. The seven project partners were the National Metrology Institutes from the UK (NPL, the coordinator), the Netherlands (NMi-VSL), Germany (PTB), Ireland (NML-EI), Sweden (SP), the Czech Republic (CMI) and Switzerland (METAS). The partners are supported by a further four NMIs from France (BNM), Denmark (DFM), Italy (IMGC) and Norway (JV) who provide expertise and breadth to the project steering committee. More documents on the MERA Project are available.
