RAMP expects proposals which focus on improving access to raw materials while promoting circular economy practices, achieving sustainability, and minimising social and environmental costs. They should add value, innovate and contribute to industrial development. Proposals are encouraged to connect the different steps of the supply chain, bridge multiple disciplines, engage with stakeholders and situate themselves in the relevant policy context.

The thematic scope of the Joint Transnational Call draws on RAMP’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and includes primary and secondary supply, design and production, and the use and reuse of products and components.
