## Summary

The Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition (RAMP) is an international joint call funding consortia projects on sustainable and secure raw materials supply chains for green energy and digital technologies. The call, activated 23 June 2026, requires partners from several countries and addresses thematic areas critical to European supply chain resilience. Research institutions and industry partners across Norway and partner countries are eligible.

## Who should apply

- International research consortia with partners from multiple countries
- Institutions and organisations in Norway and participating partner countries
- Projects addressing sustainable and secure raw materials supply chains
- Teams with expertise in green energy materials, critical minerals, or digital technology supply
- Consortia combining research, industry, and policy stakeholders

## Key dates

- Call activation: 23 June 2026
- International consortium with multi-country partnership required
- Submit through Research Council of Norway portal for current deadline and application stages

## Tips for applicants

- Consortium strength is decisive for RAMP, align partners from complementary sectors (research, mining, processing, recycling, policy) to show end-to-end supply chain thinking.
- Sustainability must address both extraction/processing and circular economy pathways; proposals limited to primary mining alone score poorly.
- Clearly map your thematic scope to RAMP's focus areas early; contact the Research Council of Norway programme officer for alignment before investing in a full proposal.
