EMPIR 18HLT01 Metves II

Virtual experiments and digital twins are key enabling technologies to achieve and realise European strategic policies devoted to sustainability and digitalisation within the complex framework of Industry 4.0 and the European Green Deal.

The goal of this project is to enable the Si-traceable measurements of column-integrated aerosol optical properties retrieved from the passive remote sensing of atmosphere using solar and lunar measurements.

This Research mobility grant together with EMPIR project 20FUN02 POLight aims to enhance multiple optical measurement methods for use in nano-metrology.

This project addresses this issue by developing novel methods to help bridge the metrology gap and in turn foster KET innovation. More specifically, this project will push the boundaries of optical measurement methods by realising a new generation of optical metrology systems, with unprecedented performances in terms of spatial resolution, traceability, reliability and robustness.

The optics and semiconductor industries use innovative materials and complex nanostructures in their products whose optical properties are difficult to measure and often not accurately known. This project is developping advanced mathematical methods to traceably characterise these materials for wavelength ranges from soft X-ray to IR.

To remain competitive, European manufacturers strive to make constant improvements in their manufacturing processes. The surface topography of a component part can have a profound effect on the function of the part. This is true across a wide range of industries (such as precision engineering, automotive and medical).

The shift towards more renewable and sustainable technologies has increased the attractiveness of DC grids as an alternative or addition to the existing AC grids

The main goal of the Green Transport Delta – Hydrogen project is to develop three hydrogen technologies: hydrogen combustion engines, hydrogen fuel cells, and next generation technology for hydrogen refueling infrastructure.

Creating a metrological framework to support growing demands for ‘green’ hydrogen as part of the EU’s climate strategy.

LED-based lighting contributes to energy saving and the reduction of the environmental impact of lighting. However, LED lamps can show fluctuations in the light output known as temporal light modulation (TLM)
