EIT 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.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
