D4Temp — Advanced digital infrastructure for harmonised temperature metrology D4Temp
WP5

Work Package 5

Creating impact

WP5 secures the long-term uptake and impact of the project — through dissemination and communication aimed at the metrology community, industry, regulators, and the wider public, and through exploitation activities that handle IP, licensing, and uptake in line with the Grant Agreement and Consortium Agreement.
