Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition is a Co-funded Partnership supported under Digital, Industry and Space Cluster of the Horizon Europe Programme. Through this partnership, it is aimed to build an international multi-stakeholder research and innovation ecosystem on raw materials; implement an ambitious research and innovation programme that addresses the entire raw-materials value chain; contribute to circular and sustainable approaches as well as the development and implementation of raw-materials-related policies.
Under the 2026 Call, the first transnational call launched under the RAMP Partnership, research and innovation projects across the raw materials value chain will be funded. RAMP expects proposals which focus on improving access to raw materials while promoting circular economy practices, achieving sustainability, and minimising social and environmental costs. They should add value, innovate and contribute to industrial development.
Joint Call 2026 is structured around six topics. Applicants must choose one main topic that best reflects the project’s main objective and expected impact. Inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are strongly encouraged across all topics.
Ensuring a resilient supply of raw materials from primary sources
Targeting secondary sources to enhance access to raw materials
Efficient and effective use of raw materials in design and production
Overcoming technological barriers to circularity
Putting circular economy ambitions into action
Innovative approaches for analysing raw materials value chains
