EU Co-funded ERA-MIN Joint Call 2021 on Raw materials for sustainable development and the circular economy, launched on 15th of January 2021, counted with the participation of 24 funding organizations with a total budget of €19.5 million. The Call 2021 was focused on needs-driven research addressing three segments of non-fuel, non-food raw materials: metallic materials; construction materials; industrial minerals, with a circular economy approach.  The five main topics of the call were based on the challenges and priorities identified in the ERA-MIN Research Agenda covering both primary and secondary resources and substitution of Critical Raw Materials.
