Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition: call for European projects

Researchers based in Switzerland can apply for funding from the Raw Materials Partnership for the Green and Digital Transition (RAMP). Projects are encouraged to adopt inter- and transdisciplinary approaches. All proposals submitted to the call must clearly address one of the following challenges:

• 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

Projects funded under RAMP are expected to tackle important knowledge-, innovation- or policy-related gaps in the raw materials ecosystem. They should subsequently feed into larger initiatives (e.g. Horizon Europe) by upscaling, knowledge and technology sharing, and capacity building at various levels.

Proposals must be clearly positioned with respect to the state of the art. They are also expected to build on the knowledge and experience achieved through previous transnational or European as well as national, regional and local R&I programmes.

Support from the SNSF

Swiss-based applicants must meet the eligibility requirements for SNSF Project Funding. It is advisable to contact our Administrative Offices if this will be your first application to the SNSF. Along with the application to the RAMP Call Secretariat, you have to submit an administrative application to the SNSF at the same time. The submission deadline for pre-proposals is 22 September 2026.
