The ERA-MIN 2 launch event was held in Brussels on 1 December 2016 to kick-off the ERA-MIIN 2 activities, with particular emphasis on the upcoming Joint Call for translational R&I projects on 1 February 2017 with a total budget of 15 million Euro. More than 50 representatives of ministries, funding organisations, research and industry from EU and non-EU countries and the European Commission have participated in a networking cocktail to welcome the official start of ERA-MIN 2.
Building on the experience of the EU FP7 ERA-MIN (2011-2015), the main objective of the Horizon 2020 ERA-NET Cofund on Raw Materials ERA-MIN 2 (2016-2021) is to enhance and strengthen the coordination of national and regional European research and innovation (R&I) programmes in the field of non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials, namely, construction, industrial and metallic minerals, through the implementation of three joint calls for transnational collaborative R&I projects.
The ERAMIN 2 network will launch a Joint Call on 1 February 2017, with a deadline for pre-proposals on May 5th 2017. The scope of the Joint Call is needs-driven research addressing all aspects of the non-energy, nonagricultural raw materials life cycle covering both primary and secondary resources.
EFG is one of the Associated members of ERA-MIN.
