to respond to societal challenges and technological needs with an interdisciplinary approach. Indeed, advanced materials have been classified as key enabling technologies (KET) that can contribute to the development of technologies targeted by the SET (Strategic Energy Technology) plan, and to the improvement of energy efficiency and use of resources. In addition, this call underlines the commitment of the European Union (EU) to the circular economy and sustainable development objectives, in connection with the adoption by the European Commission of a new circular economy action plan, in order to help European businesses and consumers. A call for projects structured around four themes for ANR The objective of this call for projects is therefore to contribute to the promotion of a research community (academic and industrial) at the European and international level. Research activities may concern a wide range of the value chain in the field of advanced materials, divided in 6 topics, 4 of which are eligible for funding by ANR. 1. Materials for energy storage and distribution systems 2. Materials for energy conversion 3. Innovative surfaces, coatings and interfaces (not eligible for ANR) 4. Innovative functional materials with defined architectures 5. Materials addressing environmental challenges (not eligible for ANR) 6. Next generation materials for electronics A detailed description of each topic, as well as the list of countries and regions participating in the call, is ava

to: encourage scientific excellence by supporting high quality applications ; strengthen French participation and increasing France’s rate of success in upcoming ERC calls; Starting two years before the end of their ANR JCJC project and up to one year after its completion, the project leader may apply for dedicated financial support, conditional on submitting a proposal to an upcoming ERC call. The goal is to give researchers a leg up when it comes to applying to the ERC Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant or Advanced Grant call, thereby giving them firm foothold from which to succeed. Projects are funded to 75 000€ (directs costs) for a duration of 24 months . ANR has made special arrangements to speed up decision-making and funding. The submission application is a survey in order for the candidate to draw the future part B1 of the ERC application. This survey will be sent to administrative support of the applicants. The selection is only based on eligibility of the request. Enhancing French scientific excellence and appeal The funding programme JCJC breakthrough is part of France’s national strategy for strengthening French research and technological innovation aimed at increasing France’s influence and international scientific attractiveness.

and expected impact. Inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are strongly encouraged across all topics. The call text, also containing the list of countries and regions participating in this call and their positioning about the call modules, is available on the RAMP website at the following address ( https://ramprawmaterials.eu ). A project consortium must be built of at least three independent legal entities (i.e. at least one coordinator and two other beneficiary partners) applying and deemed eligible for funding by relevant national/regional Funding Organisations from at least three different countries participating in the Call. Of these three entities, at least two must be from EU Member States or HE Associated Countries. Partners of the selected proposals will be funded directly by their respective national or regional agencies. As a result, national/regional regulations apply in addition to call rules. ANR will only fund French teams. In particular, French partners requesting funding from ANR should read the document « Modalités de participation pour les Partenaires sollicitant une aide de l’ANR » ("Appendix for Partners requesting funding from ANR"), available on this page (document written in French).

to support innovative projects that advance the energy transition. In France, the French National Research Agency (ANR) and the Pays de la Loire Region Council are participating of this call. The CETPartnership is a multilateral and strategic partnership which brings together public and private stakeholders, foster transnational innovation ecosystems, and overcome the fragmented research and innovation landscape for the clean energy transition. The CETP 2026 call is structured around 11 Call Modules (CMs), each addressing a key dimension of the energy transition. These modules are based on 7 Transition Initatives (TRIs), which define the strategic challenges to be tackled in order to achieve a sustainable energy future. For this call, the ANR will participate to the 8 following call modules : CM2026-01 (TRI 1) : Integrated energy system resilience in a changing environment CM2026-02 (TRI 1 & TRI 2) : Energy system flexibility in a high renewable energy sources (RES) scenario: energy generation, storage and system integration CM2026-03A (TRI 2) : Advanced renewable energy (RE) technologies for power production ( ROA ) CM2026-04 (TRI 3) : Industrial carbon management CM2026-05 (TRI 3) : Hydrogen and renewable fuels. Concerning hydrogen production only green hydrogen production will be eligible for ANR. CM2026-06 (TRI 3) : Stationary battery technologies and systems for climate-neutral industry and built environment CM2026-07 (TRI 4) : Heating and cooling technologies CM2026-10
