Summary: Supports transnational research and innovation across raw materials value chains to advance sustainable supply, efficient use and circularity.
Key Information: Consortia need at least three funded partners from three participating countries; full proposals are invitation-only.
RAMP’s first Joint Transnational Call supports research and innovation across the raw materials value chain through the European Partnership on Raw Materials under Horizon Europe. This cascade funding call brings together 39 national and regional funders from 27 countries. It covers primary and secondary supply, design and production, circularity, and value-chain analysis in support of the green and digital transition.
Projects should improve access to raw materials, promote circular economy practices, achieve sustainability, and minimise social and environmental costs. RAMP expects proposals to add value, innovate and contribute to industrial development. It encourages projects that connect supply-chain stages, bridge disciplines, engage stakeholders and address the relevant policy context. Each project partner receives funding, including EU co-funding, directly from its respective national or regional funder.
