ERA-MIN3 is a global, innovative and flexible pan-European network of 24 European and non-European research funding organisations, aiming to continue strengthening the mineral raw materials community through the coordination of research and innovation programmes on non-fuel and non-food raw materials (metallic, construction, and industrial minerals). ERA-MIN3 builds on the experience of the H2020 ERA-MIN 2 (2016-2022) and FP7 ERA-NET ERA-MIN (2011-2015).

The scope of the 2023 Call is needs-driven research addressing three  segments of non-fuel, non-food raw materials: metallic materials; construction materials; industrial minerals.

Geological Survey Ireland in collaboration with the EPA and will fund Irish based partners in ERA MIN 3 consortia in the eligible topics. Please make sure you careful read all documentation available through the ERA Min 3 network – projects must adhere to both ERA MIN 3 and GSI/EPA rules and eligibility criteria.

ERA MIN 2 - Second Call (2019):

ERA-MIN 2 - First Call (2017):

ERA-MIN 2 aims to implement a European-wide coordination of research and innovation programs on raw materials to strengthen the industry, competitiveness and the shift to a circular economy. Successful applications will be jointly funded by national/regional funding agencies across Europe – in Ireland this is the Geological Survey with a contribution from the EPA which allows us to broaden the scope to include recycling and reuse themes.

The funding available and included in the call document is the approximate total amount for project(s) (not an annual sum available). The GSI/EPA would aim to fund 2 or more projects from this funding.

All documents and information are available on the ERA MIN 2 website.

Please read the documents very carefully, as the calls are co-funded by more than one country some national rules may apply to international partners that do not apply to Irish partners and vice versa. If you cannot find the answer to your question in the call documents, please contact us at research@gsi.ie. ​
