Cascading Calls Projects

RAMP Joint Transnational Call 2026

Open

Description

Funding research and innovation projects across the raw materials value chain, including primary and secondary supply, design and production, circularity, and value-chain analysis. Projects should contribute to sustainable raw material supply, efficient use, circular economy practices, and reduced social and environmental impacts.

Beneficiary & submission

Two-stage transnational call. Pre-proposals must be submitted by the date indicated as “call deadline” and undergo central and national/regional eligibility checks. Pre-proposals which meet eligibility requirements are evaluated centrally by a panel of independent international experts. Shortlisted consortia are invited to submit full proposals by the date indicated as “call deadline 2” (invitation only), which are again checked for eligibility and evaluated by independent international experts. Proposals may be subject to review by an independent ethics advisory board, whose assessment can lead to a veto on funding ethically non‑compliant projects. Final funding decisions are taken by the participating national/regional funders according to their own procedures.
