ProgrammesEIT RawMaterials (European Institute for Innovation and Technology) has published KAVA Call 14 – Upscaling for projects in the raw and advanced materials sector. The call supports innovation projects with validated technologies above TRL 5 that need further testing, demonstration or scaling towards market entry at TRL 8. Funding ranges from €500,000 to more than €2.5 million per project, with a project duration of up to 2.5 years.
The call is designed for consortia working on innovative technologies, materials or products in mining, materials and recycling. The call targets projects that are beyond lab scale and need further proof of concept, testing, demonstration or scale-up before they are ready for the market.
Applicants must form a consortium with at least two partners from different Horizon Europe-eligible countries and cover at least two parts of the knowledge triangle: education, research, and industry or business. At least one partner must already be a Core or Associate Partner of EIT RawMaterials, while non-member organisations would need to commit to membership if selected. The lead project participant must be a KIC Partner by the start of the project.
Interested applicants can review the call conditions and consortium requirements through the EIT RawMaterials website and check whether they meet the membership and co-funding conditions before preparing a proposal. The next two deadlines are 24 June 2026 and 16 October 2026.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Digital, Industry & Space EIT Deployment: Best use of technologies
The Co-Creation Accelerator is a programme run by 28DIGITAL (formerly EIT Digital). It brings together start-ups and industry partners to co-develop solutions to real-world challenges, with a focus on: Validating core technology (TRL 4-5 and above) Strengthening problem-solution fit Reducing technical and market uncertainty Building a cle... read more
The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
