Capacity Building Coordination
The landscape of the European metrology infrastructure is constantly changing with emerging metrology systems or fields of measurements. This project aims to support EURAMET’s members and associates to develop a balanced and integrated metrology system in the participating countries. It will provide support and coordination of existing capacity building instruments (Researcher Mobility Support, Mentoring Scheme Award, Training Events) to address key metrological challenges and build capacities through knowledge transfer activities.

Research Mobility Support (RMS)
This instrument supports researchers from EURAMET metrological institutes to join an organisation in a different country to their employer (an EURAMET NMI or DI or other institution that can host suitable research) for between one to nine months, in order to perform research in the selected field.
The grant funds travel, subsistence, and other allowances, but not the salary of the researcher. The salary of the researcher must continue to be paid by the Employing Organisation.

Mentoring Scheme Award (MSA)
The Mentoring Scheme Award provides a platform for staff from two different EURAMET metrological institutes (NMIs and DIs), in different countries, to set up a partnership and work together on a relevant topic, such as technical, managerial, comparisons or traceability. MSA participants will spend between 2 and 6 weeks (not necessarily consecutive) at the partner organisation in a different country to their employing organisation.

Training Events (TE)
(Courses, Workshops, Summer Schools)
For EURAMET metrological institutes (NMIs and DIs) to maintain and further expand its capacity building efforts, it is crucial to ensure the long-term stability of the resources (human and financial) that sustain them. Training events (courses, workshops, and summer schools) develop the technical skills of existing staff at NMIs/DIs, support the development of newly qualified staff for all EURAMET NMIs/DIs and prepare them for work in a metrological laboratory.
