EMPIR in 2014
• As in 2009 with the EMRP, EMPIR will be “working
ahead of contract” in 2014. Calls will be launched
while negotiations in Council, Parliament, and the
Commission continue. This means that the call
process could stop or change at any time. Even if we
reach the end of the year with a set of selected
projects, they could all be abandoned if the
negotiations with the EU fail.
What parts of the EMRP continue in EMPIR?
• JRPs continue to be the main part with the familiar
selection process of PRT, SRT, JRP-Proposal and
Review Conference.
• JRP Calls for the initial years will include
• 2014 Industry
• 2015 Health and SI
• Calls for the Grand Challenges (Energy, Environment
and Health) will repeat every three years.
Which parts of the EMRP don’t continue in EMPIR?
• All forms of Researcher Grant. There will not be a
“Stage 3” for the 2014 JRPs and probably not for any
EMPIR Call.
• Instead, others that would be eligible for Horizon
2020 funding, can be funded partners in the JRPs.
On average, 30 % of the effort in EMPIR projects will
be provided by these partners.
What will be new in EMPIR?
• EMPIR can introduce new types of project and call throughout
its life. Those that are beneficial can be retained, those that are
not will be abandoned.
• For 2014 there will be a call for “Research Potential”
projects aimed at developing scientific and technical
capabilities in the participating states. The call process will
be similar to that for traditional JRPs.
• In 2014 there will also be a call for “JRP extensions”. This
will not fund research, but dissemination and exploitation
activities required after the close of an iMERA-Plus or
EMRP project. These proposals must aim to enhance
important project outputs and outcomes. The call process
will be single stage, similar to the EMRP Researcher Grant
process.
• In 2015 a call for “pre-normative” JRPs to support
standardisation is planned.
What else changes?
• Instead of calls and processes being defined for the life of
the programme, an annual “Work Plan” will be negotiated
with the EC.
• Unlike the EMRP, EMPIR must follow the “Rules for
Participation” in Horizon 2020. This will introduce subtle
(and sometimes strange) changes to processes and
contracts.
• Finance rules change radically. Instead of a Full
Economic Cost (FEC) model, project accounting will be
based on direct costs. A “3 M€ EMRP project” and a “1.3
M€ EMPIR project” will contain equivalent effort in terms
of person months, and receive an equivalent cash
contribution from EURAMET (on average).

INDUSTRY (IND)
RESEARCH POTENTIAL (Rpot)
Documented industrial needs, such as
provided through the references included in
the PRT will be of key importance.
EURAMET encourages proposals from
industry and expects their active participation
in projects. In addition to the development of
technologies and methods, contributions to
standardisation shall be investigated as a
potential part of the projects. EURAMET
wishes to generate benefit for industry whilst
exploiting the unique capabilities of its
member NMIs and DIs.
RPOTs should include some research and
development activities and in this respect they
differ from the technical assistance nature of
cooperation, however they do not need to
address fundamental scientific challenges. An
important element of RPOTs is the
collaboration between NMIs/DIs that are less
experienced in a relevant field with NMIs/DIs
with greater experience, with the aim of
establishing and developing metrology
capabilities and the potential for metrology
research.
