Funds international research projects that develop innovative, sustainable, and circular raw material solutions supporting Europe’s green and digital transition.
Funder: Research Council of Finland
Due Dates: September 22, 2026 (Pre-proposal) | February 15, 2027 (Full proposal)
Funding Amounts: Total RCF contribution: €1.5 million; overall call budget: €34+ million; project duration up to 36 months.
Summary: Supports transnational research projects advancing sustainable, resilient, and circular raw materials solutions for the green and digital transition.
The European Co-Funded Partnership on Raw Materials for the Green and Digital Transition (RAMP) Joint Call 2026 funds collaborative, transnational research and innovation projects aimed at strengthening the resilience, efficiency, and sustainability of raw materials supply chains. The call addresses the entire raw materials value chain—from primary and secondary sourcing to design, production, reuse, and recycling—supporting the green and digital transition across Europe and partner countries.
Projects should address one of six thematic topics, including resilient supply, secondary sources, efficient use in design and production, technological and non-technological barriers to circularity, and innovative value chain analysis. Inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, as are projects that integrate open science practices, gender balance, and societal considerations.
