“ERA-MIN: A Decade since the Inception of the EU Led Effort to Support the International Raw Materials Research Community” is an Open Access Proceeding Paper published on 28 January 2022 on the journal Material Proceedings that belongs to the Proceedings of International Conference on Raw Materials and Circular Economy.
The paper summarises and analyses the activity of last 10 years of the network, since the first ERA-MIN programme was launched in 2011.
Abstract
ERA-NET Cofund on Raw Materials (ERA-MIN) is a global, innovative and flexible pan-European network of research funding organisations, supported by EU Horizon 2020, that counts now with its third edition. ERA-MIN3 (2020–2025) builds on the experience of the FP7 ERA-NET ERA-MIN (2011–2015) and the still running H2020 ERA-MIN 2 (2016–2022). ERA-MIN aims to support the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials (EIP RM), the EU Raw Materials Initiative, the Circular Economy Action Plan and further develop the raw materials (RM) sector in Europe through funding of transnational research and innovation (R&I) activities. This is achieved through calls designed and developed specifically for the non-fuel, non-food raw materials sector.
ESASTAP is a collaboration between the Department of Science and Innovation, partnering member states and the European Commission. The programme’s main objective is to strengthen ties within the field of science, technology and innovation. Funding for projects, mainly sourced from both the Department of Science and Innovation of the Republic of South Africa and the European Commission.
