EIT Raw materials: new KAVA call 13 opens on 21th of March

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space EIT

The European Institute for innovation and technology tries to bridge the gap between innovation and commercialisation. The nine different EIT's each form a large community of companies, universities and organisations and they regularly launch calls for proposals to look for the companies with the highest potential. 

The EIT Raw Materials will therefore reopen the KAVA 13 upscaling call on the 21st of March. It aims to accelerate the launch of promising new technologies, products, and services in the raw materials industry (mining, recycling and materials). It targets projects with validated technologies that require additional steps (e.g. testing, demonstration, proof of concept, and scaling) before being market-ready.

Who can apply ?

  • Consortia with at least two partners from different Horizon Europe-eligible countries.
  • Consortia must represent at least two sides of the knowledge triangle: education, research, and industry/business
  • At least one partner must be a Core or Associate Partner of EIT RawMaterials.
  • Non-member organisations of the EIT raw materials must commit to membership if selected.

Key funding details: 

  • Funding: €500,000 to €2.5 million per project.
  • Duration: Up to 2.5 years (shorter timelines are favoured)
  • Co-funding: Minimum 30% of the total budget (higher contributions will score positively). Proposals must outline a financial sustainability plan (e.g. equity, revenue sharing)

They work with regular cut-off dates similar to other Horizon Europe accelerators. The next deadlines are: 

  • Friday 30th May 2025 at 13.00 CET (Berlin time) for cut-off 3
  • Friday 29th August 2025 at 13.00 CET (Berlin time) for cut-off 4
  • Friday 28th November 2025 at 13.00 CET (Berlin time) for cut-off 5

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
