Measurement science: collaboration with Turkey
A new project has been launched which will bring together European and Turkish experts in measurement science. The JRC Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) will work with scientists from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEK).
The three-year project is funded by the European Union under the instrument for pre-accession assistance (IPA), and it aims at providing Turkey's citizens an increased quality of life in areas such as environment, health, food safety and consumer protection through an enhanced measurement infrastructure. A well-functioning measurement infrastructure is also necessary for the adoption of the EU body of law and the project can thus be seen as supporting the accession of Turkey to the EU.
