Among the 50 selected projects, the T-REFIMEVE project, coordinated by the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers and co-coordinated by SYRTE, is among the top of the ranking and among the 32 projects ranked A+.

The objective of T-REFIMEVE is to provide the scientific community and industrials with a complete set of timing signals at the best international level that metrology laboratories can provide, taking advantage of the exceptional accuracy of atomic clocks and the guided propagation in optical fibers. More than 30 laboratories and institutes throughout France will be connected. Other laboratories in the vicinity will be able to connect easily at a later date. This situation is unique worldwide.
