ANNEX II INDIRECT ACTIONS SUPPORTED BY EMPIR 1. EMPIR may support the following indirect actions in the area of joint research and technological development: 1.1. scientific-technical actions supporting fundamental scientific metrology laying the basis for all successive steps including applied metrology research and development and metrology-related services; 1.2. metrology research to provide solutions for societal challenges focusing on contributions to energy, environment and health; 1.3. research in order to develop novel measurement instrumentation aiming at industrial take-up of metrological technologies to stimulate innovation in industry; 1.4. pre-normative and co-normative metrology research and development for priority documentary standards aiming to use the expertise of metrology institutes of the Participating States to support policy implementation and accelerate innovative products and services to market; 1.5. metrology capacity-building activities on different technological levels aiming to achieve a balanced and integrated metrology system in the Participating States, and enabling them to develop their scientific and technical capabilities in metrology. 2. EMPIR may support further actions for the dissemination and exploitation of results of metrology research. EMPIR may support other actions specifically addressing metrology institutes which have no or limited scientific capabilities, by supporting them in using other European Union, national or regional programmes for training and mobility, cross-border cooperation or investment in metrology infrastructure. 3. EMPIR may support organisation of networking activities to promote EMPIR and maximise its impact. 4. The indirect actions referred to in point 1 shall be carried out by NMIs and DIs according to the designation by the appropriate national authority. However, EMPIR shall encourage and support the participation of other entities in all calls launched by EMPIR. This approach is expected to result in around 15 % of the budget of EMPIR going to those entities.
