Expert network on Critical raw materials (CSA)
Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalProjects outcomes will enable achieving the expected impacts of the destination by increasing access to primary raw materials and secondary raw materials, in particular critical raw materials (CRM) [1] for EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors.
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
-Strengthening the expert capacity in the EU in a wide range of raw materials along the whole value chain;
-Better informed and more effective decision-making by the EU and National policy makers and the producers and users of raw materials regarding the supply and demand of raw materials and the associated environmental and social aspects;
-Improving EU official statistics and building the EU knowledge base of primary and secondary raw materials.
-Improving awareness of society across the EU about importance of the critical raw materials and other relevant materials for strategic value chains in support of the implementation of the green and digital transitions;
-In the longer term improved diversification of CRMs supply to the EU.
-Improve responsible supply of raw materials to the EU in line with the EU principles for sustainable raw materials, which are a non-regulatory set of principles based on the EU acquis. They set out requirements for sustainable raw materials and extraction and processing in Europe in terms of social, environmental and economic performance.[2]
Actions are expected to contribute to the implementation the EU action plan on Critical Raw Materials.[3]
Scope:Actions should strengthen an EU expert network and community covering all raw materials screened in the CRM assessment of 2020 , and additional raw materials screened in 2023 assessment (neon, krypton, xenon, roundwood). Flexibility in screening additional raw materials is an added value.
The consortium should build the EU expert community covering each screened raw material with expertise on primary and secondary resources; production, including exploration, mining, processing, recycling and refining; substitution of CRM; raw materials markets; future demand and supply; supply risk management and stress tests; materials flows; raw materials standardisation; socio-economic analysis, and strategic value chains and end-use sectors, including batteries, e-mobility, renewable energy, electronics, security and aerospace.
The actions should flexibly support the Commission in policy making related to Critical Raw Materials in general or linked to specific applications or sectors; as well in the relevant events organised by the Commission.
The actions should also improve data and knowledge on all screened raw materials; and support the Commission in the analysis of the future supply and demand of raw materials, technology gaps and innovation potential along the raw materials value chains.
The action should update the data and information fact sheets from the previous criticality exercise for all screened raw materials, and ensure their quality by relevant raw material experts. Factsheets are to be finalised by the end of 2025, and could be fine-tuned before publication expected in 2026.
The action is expected to organise two expert validation workshops in 2025 to support the EU criticality assessment, and validate draft factsheets for all screened materials. On request of the Commission, organise in-depth workshops on several strategic metals (agreed with the Commission) for renewable energy, e-mobility and security with recognised commodity experts from industry and other organisations.
The action should provide policy briefs and analyses based on requests from the Commission and proposed work shall be coordinated with the Commission's work and relevance reviewed in the light of policy development and needs.
The actions should envisage clustering activities with other relevant selected projects for cross-projects co-operation, consultations and joint activities on cross-cutting issues and share of results as well as participating in joint meetings and communication events. To this end proposals should foresee a dedicated work package and/or task, and earmark the appropriate resources accordingly.

Dear Applicants,
We need to inform you that for the CSA proposal template we have the following issue.
The Standard Application Form (HE CSA) “Proposal template Part B: technical description” is divided in two parts.The first part provides the different sections 1-3 with explanations and instructions (page 1-20).
The second part (starting after page 20) is the fill in template without the explanations and instructions as in the first part.
In the first part “Proposal template Part B: technical description” (page 01 – 20) at page 16 section 3 we have the “Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables” in this table we ask among other things the short description for each deliverable
However, in the second part of the template “Proposal template Part B: technical description” (after page 20) the column “short description” in the Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables is missing.
For the calls that did not open yet the CSA proposal template will be updated.
As this call is open, we are not going to replace de template. We ask you to use and fill in the table from the first part of the proposal template in page 16 section 3.
For the applicants who already prepared and submitted their proposal and can’t change it we will also instruct the experts not to penalize the proposals if the short description is missing from “Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables”.

We would like to draw your attention to an update of the “Detailed Budget Table” Excel template. A new template has been republished for your kind consideration and use.
An additional paragraph has been added to the instructions tab, explaining how to save the detailed budget table and how to upload it in the submission system:
“After you completed this Excel workbook, you must also complete the table ‘Budget for the proposal’ in Part A of the proposal, entering the requested EU contribution for each participant. Fill the Part A budget table using the total for each participant from the sheet ‘Lump sum breakdown’ in this Excel workbook. The format of this Excel workbook is .xlsm because it uses macros to generate sheets and make calculations automatically. Always save it as .xlsm. However, this format cannot be uploaded to the submission system for security reasons. Therefore, to submit the completed workbook, save a copy as an .xlsx or .xls document (and not as .xlsm) and upload it to the proposal submission tool at Step 5 of the submission process. Always keep a copy of the original .xlsm file. To save the workbook as .xlsx document, use the action button in the sheet “Instructions”. Alternatively, click on “File” and then “Save as”; in the “Save as” dialog box, choose “.xlsx” or “.xls” from the “Save as type” dropdown list.”
You can still use the template initially available in the submission system if you wish to, but please be aware of the instructions on how to upload and save the file.
