Era-Net ERA-MIN call 2021 aims at promoting breakthrough solutions to foster the European industrial development via research projects in the field of non-fuel, non-food raw materials, in particular those having limited resources, either intrinsically or for geopolitical reasons. The target is to secure the European raw materials supply, both primary and secondary, by ensuring a responsible and sustainable approach.
Industries should increase the efficient use of these resources, or even substitute them with other elements allowing their products to keep an equivalent or improved functionality. Moreover, all these processes must be designed and progressively integrated in a framework of circular economy. Research efforts are therefore needed at each stage of the value chain (exploration, design, use and recycling...).
The objective of this call is to help the promotion of a research community, academic and industrial, today too fragmented at European level. Research activities may focus on a wide range of topics along the value chain in the domain of non-fuel, non-food raw materials. Raw materials concerned by this call are metal ores and industrial materials ; resources can be either primary or secondary, as urban mining or waste of electric and electronic devices (WEEE).
The call is composed of 5 topic:
Call text, including, among more information, the list of Countries and Regions participating at the call, is available at ERA-MIN website as well as on this page.
Partners of the selected projects will be funded directly by their respective national or regional organizations (agencies or departments). As a result, national regulations apply in addition to the transnational rules specific to the call.
In particular French applicants should read carefully the document "Terms for French participants", available on this page.
Projects submission and evaluation will take place in two step, in cooperation between all funding partners. Project proposals have to be submitted by the Coordinator on the ERA-MIN call 2021 electronic submission website.
Along the selection process, the call secretariat (email address: eramin(at)fct.pt) is the contact point for all candidates.
