EIT Raw Material KAVA calls open until 31 March 2017
Various types of projects can be funded: The biggest share of funding available is allocated to Upscaling projects where already studied processes or products are developed further (form TRL 5 to TRL 7). Upscaling projects must aim for market introduction and/or a commercial use within 3 years (or less) after the end of the project. These projects can be up to 3 years and the funding available is 1-10 M€. The funding model is such that the non-EIT/EIT funding ratio should be 75/25 and the co-funding contributed by the project consortium should be a minimum of 10-15% (can be in-kind contribution).
