Methodologies
• new / better methods
• new techniques
• better tools (calibrants, transfer standards, reference methods, software, chemometrics, expert systems, etc.)
• comparable basis for rating products and services
COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Research DG European Commission
Instruments
• Progress beyond state of the art– industrial applications– metrological excellence, new capabilities
• Operating prototypes
• Clear plan of exploitation
• Partnership including instrument manufacturers and end users

EoI / Dedicated call mechanism
• EoI is a structured description of research related needs in the areas covered by dedicated calls
• Any interested party (incl. Commission services) can submit an EoI
• Received EoIs (continuously open call) are periodically evaluated
Expressions of interest (EoI)
Dedicated calls• Dedicated calls, i.e. lists of topics resulting from EoI evaluations,
are published periodically
• Supporting documents (modified & anonymous EoIs) for all
published topics are available on the web
• Any eligible consortium may submit a proposal for any of the
published topics
COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Research DG European Commission
Measurements & Testing RTD calls
• Call for expressions of interest(closing date: 30 April 2001)
• Call for SME specific measures - Exploratory awards and Cooperative research
• Fourth dedicated call published on 13 October 2000• Periodic call to be published on 15 December 2000• Fifth dedicated call foreseen for publication on 15
October 2001

• Problem solving approach !
• Read the guidelines when preparing a proposal (annual revisions of the WP)
Be realistic, choose partners carefully Industrial core participation and interest is
essential Try to judge your own proposal and have it
judged by others
