Horizon2020 has arrived and there are a number of funding opportunities for those interested in substitution of critical raw materials.
As this is a very broad topic, calls on substitution are found in a number of different work programmes.
CRM_InnoNet has scoured the Horizon2020 work programmes and summarised the most relevant topics for your convenience:
