The symposium covers three projects running in different EMPIR calls, Environmental, Energy and Fundamental calls of the years 2019 and 2020. EMPIR is European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research. EMPIR coordinates research projects to address grand challenges, while supporting and developing the International System of measurement units.

The EMPIR programme enables European metrology institutes, academia, industrial and medical organisations to collaborate on a wide variety of joint research projects within several fields – energy, environment, health and industry. Three project will be presented and discussed with the public and stakeholders, Aeromet II, a project devoted to Aerosols metrology, Nanowires, devoted to Energy harvesting by means of nanowires, e and MEMQuD, a project proposing the realization of a quantum standard of resistance at room temperature and without magnetic fields.
