Objective

An important tool in the quality control of analyses is the use of (Certified) Reference Materials, (C)RMs, to test accuracy, validate methods and assure traceability and inter-comparability between laboratories. The central mission of the "European Virtual Institute on Reference Materials" (VI-RM) is a knowledge Network and a facility to encourage the interaction between all stakeholder in the field of Reference Materials. The VI-RM shall become the meeting place for producers, distributors, users (including industry and SMEs), service providers, and research organizations in EU&NAS countries. The VI-RM will act both as glue (between Network Members) and grease to smooth dissemination, exchange of ideas and concepts. The project has the main objective to nurture the concept of a Virtual Institute and to develop into a legally and financially independent organization.
