International Joint Call for Research and Innovation on Sustainable Supply and Use of Raw Materials, Including Value Creation and Cumulative Effects

The Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition (RAMP) is an international joint call funded by multiple countries for projects that contribute to a sustainable and secure supply of raw materials in the green and digital transition. Projects must be developed by consortia with partners from several countries and address one or more of the thematic areas of the call’s thematic areas.

The call is relevant for those with project ideas within raw materials value chains —from extraction and processing to recycling, circular economy, and digitalisation —who wish to collaborate internationally with research and/or industry partners. Projects may also include issues from related disciplines where this strengthens the overall value chains. Applicants are particularly encouraged to address cumulative effects, including environmental, societal, and economic impacts across sectors and activities.

Projects eligible for funding under this call must fall within at least one of the following areas: 

  • Geology, including mapping, understanding, and assessment of mineral resources 
  • Nature and environment, including environmental impact, biodiversity considerations, circularity, tailings management, and sustainability 
  • Technology and processes, for example development and improvement of extraction, processing, and refining technologies; links to European value chains and integration between mineral resources and downstream processing, and vice versa 
  • Mineral-related societal challenges, including issues related to social acceptance, land use, value chains, regulations, and coexistence with other societal interests; in particular regulatory frameworks, legal aspects, financing, and value distribution principles; Indigenous rights and synergies with other similar infrastructure-related societal challenges 

 

  • Funding from the Research Council of Norway: NOK 10 million per year for Norwegian participants. The partnership is planned to run for ten years 
  • Minimum–maximum funding per Norwegian partner/project: Minimum EUR 50,000 per Norwegian partner and maximum EUR 425,000 per project 
  • State aid information: The Research Council’s co-funding will be considered state aid. See details on the Research Council’s website: State aid 

The call will be published on 23 June here: RAMP supports the green and digital transition by ensuring a sustainable and resilient supply of raw materials
