## Eligibility & scope

International joint call under the Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition (RAMP); projects must be developed with partners from multiple countries.

## Summary

RAMP (Partnerskap for råmaterialer for grønn og digital omstilling) is a Horizon Europe joint call funding international consortia to develop sustainable and secure access to raw materials for the green and digital transition. The call requires a minimum of 3 entities from 3 EU member states, and welcomes Norwegian participation under the Horizon Europe associate country framework. Projects must address raw materials security, circularity, or supply-chain resilience across Europe.

## Who should apply

- Research organisations and industry partners working on raw materials supply chains
- Consortia with partners across minimum 3 EU member states
- Norwegian institutions eligible as associated-country partners
- Projects focused on sustainable extraction, processing, recycling, or circular economy for critical minerals and raw materials
- Teams bridging resource geology, materials engineering, sustainability, and digital innovation

## Key dates

- Applications open 23 June 2026
- Consortium of minimum 3 entities from 3 EU member states required
- Horizon Europe implementation timeline applies

## Tips for applicants

- Consortia must span multiple countries, verify all partners are confirmed and their commitment letters are strong before submission.
- The call sits at the intersection of raw-materials security and the green transition; frame your project in both dimensions to align with EU strategic priorities.
- As a Horizon Europe call, use the Funding and Tenders Portal and follow Horizon Europe grant-agreement templates; consult your national contact point (Norway's RCN liaison) early.
