Scientific and technical objectives
This JRP aims to solve those challenges and develop the necessary multi-faceted metrology framework to ensure an energy efficient Europe and to extend Europe’s leadership in energy technology and innovation. The ambitious goal of the JRP is to develop complementary metrology tools for thin film characterisation, including:
Expected results and potential impact
As an output, this JRP will deliver novel measurement prototypes, new traceable facilities, reference materials and advanced materials datasets. Innovative measurement protocols and good practice guides will be created and disseminated to stakeholders and relevant standards bodies. Efficient knowledge transfer mechanisms will be used to disseminate JRP results and ensure impact, including workshops, training and a stakeholder e-forum.
In order to achieve these goals, this JRP has brought together a select group of JRP-Partners from European metrology institutes, industry and R&D centres. It has also attracted supporters and collaborators that will form the core of the JRP Stakeholder advisory committee. These include not only end-users, instrument manufactures and materials producers as individual institutions but also large stakeholder associations. Such a group will provide a diversity of end-user needs and will help maximise the JRP’s impact to support a safe and sustainable low carbon economy in Europe.
