EURAMET Workshop for Designated Institutes
In many countries, Designated Institutes (DIs) play more and more important role in the national metrology structures, supporting National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) in assuring uniformity and required accuracy of measurements. Therefore the international metrology organizations like the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the European Association of National Metrology Institutes EURAMET intend to integrate DIs into the metrological cooperation framework. Especially, the EURAMET as an European Regional Metrology Organization strives to intensify the collaboration with DIs by organizing this year the first workshop on "Challenges for full integration of DIs within EURAMET" which will take place in Kongens Lyngby Denmark, 18-19 February 2016.
The representatives of Designated Institutes, National Metrology Institutes, national designating and financing authorities and EURAMET Technical Committee chairs have been invited to participate in the workshop. A key aim of the event is to achieve an insight and good understanding on the specific needs and expectations of the different communities and to establish an effective platform for communication in the future.
The workshop provides sessions on:
- EURAMET organization, opportunities and benefits for participation in EURAMET committees and research programmes (EMPIR);
- The CIPM Mutual Recognition Agreement (CIPM MRA), Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMC) processes, Quality Management Systems, accreditation;
- Success stories of EURAMET members / NMIs and DIs.
The two Polish DIs are:
- National Centre for Nuclear Research - POLATOM, Otwock, Poland
- Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research - Polish Academy of Sciences, Wrocław, Poland
