Earth Observation platform, products and services for raw materials (IA)
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[1] for EU industrial value chains and strategic sectors.
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
-Develop and deploy innovative technologies, products and services based on satellite, airborne and ground-based remote sensing data combined with other in-situ data sources (e.g. geophysical and geological data), supporting the whole raw materials value chain, from mineral exploration to post-closure activities.;
-Improve responsible supply of raw materials to Europe 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]
Improve knowledge on raw materials resources in Europe.
Actions are expected to contribute to the implementation the EU action plan on Critical Raw Materials.[3]
-Develop best practices and standards for innovate EO technologies, products and services for a more efficient permitting and environmental compliance processes.
Scope:Actions should develop leverage on existing Copernicus DIAS[4] or other Earth Observation platform for raw materials similar to ESA [5] platforms, and create a sustainable business model that can facilitate access to developed Earth Observation technologies, products and services to be integrated into the mining industry and public stakeholder workflows supporting any phase in the full mine life cycle.
The Earth Observation platform for Raw Materials should support the implementation of the EU’s international strategic partnerships with resource rich countries (e.g. Canada, Ukraine, Africa countries or Latin America).
Actions should increase the uptake of the Earth Observation technologies to deliver a responsible and sustainable mining industry, including mining of secondary deposits (e.g. old mine tailings).
Actions should deliver on-line processing tools, services and / or products to generate value-added raw materials information products, pre-processed optical and radar data from the Sentinel satellites and related Copernicus services of the EU Copernicus programme, as well as access to data and services from other high-resolution satellites, airborne, ground-based and in situ data.
Actions should improve mineral exploration at regional scale and target definition at local scale, exploiting European multi- and hyperspectral satellite, airborne and ground-based sensors and relevant subsurface data.
Actions should monitor the volume and rate of extraction of materials in opencast mining based on European airborne and satellites high and very high-resolution imagery.
Actions should map and monitor secondary raw materials in the Europe exploiting the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service or other EO satellites derived products.
Actions should monitor ground stability in active and/or abandoned mining areas in Europe, exploiting the European Ground Monitoring Service of Europe (Copernicus EGMS) and similar initiatives, as well as data form Sentinels and/or Copernicus Contributing Missions.
Actions should map and monitor the environmental impact of mining activities with a focus on soil, water and air pollution and their possible impacts on the socio-economic and environmental health of mining areas. Also, it should assist in remediation activities following mine closure.
Actions should develop best practices and standards for innovate EO technologies, products and services in the raw materials life cycle for a safer, efficient, responsible and sustainable mining.
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.
Actions should facilitate the market uptake of solutions developed through industrially- and user-driven multidisciplinary consortia covering the relevant value chain and should consider standardisation aspects when relevant. The action should also include the analysis of financial opportunities ensuring the market exploitation and replication of the circular business model behind the developed solutions as new processes, products and/or services.
Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. For TRLs 6-7, a credible strategy to achieve future full-scale deployment in the EU is expected, indicating the commitments of the industrial partners after the end of the project.
Only terrestrial activities will be considered eligible.
In this topic the integration of the gender dimension (sex and/or gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement, however, should you consider it to be of relevance for your specific proposal, you are strongly encouraged to do it.

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.
