2. 2 Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel International collaborations 1) European Research Projects Marie-Martine Bé CEA/LIST, LNE-LNHB

3. 3 Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel European Research Projects  Every year since 2008 the EU – through the European Commission and the countries participating within the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET e.V.) – launches calls for research projects in the general field of metrology: the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP). http://www.emrponline.eu http://www.emrponline.eu  For us, there is a “ionizing radiations” part which includes radioactivity and dosimetry.  Each accepted project is for a three years duration and involve several European laboratories.  We (LNHB, IFIN-HH, NPL, …) are involved in some of them.

4. 4 Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel International initiative on fundamental parameters  EMPR “Thin films” (Metrology for the manufacturing of thin films)  EMRP “TREND” (TRacable Characterisation of Nanostructured Devices) -> Measurement of atomic parameters for materials of interest for industry (new materials for photovoltaics, nanotechnologies…) European Research Projects
