We encourage you and your colleagues to submit a Raw Materials Commitment (RMC).
Getting the recognition as a Raw MaterialsCommitment provide the following benefits :
• It can raise the awareness of the commitment, not only within the EIP community but also more broadly ;
• It can give a quality assurance to the commitment at the European level ;
• It can guarantee accordance with the EIP (as specified in the SIP) and with the EU raw materials policy framework the EIP is based on ;
• It can potentially facilitate access to finance from various sources (even though the EIP as such is not a funding instrument).
• It can create opportunities to join forces with related commitments ;
• It gives access to the work of the EIP's Operational Groups ;
• It can give visibility and access to contacts outside the EU through opportunities to participate in EU raw materials diplomacy activities.
The European Innovation Partnership onRaw Materials has currently opened a new Call for Commitments, which will remain open from 1 December 2015 until 1 March 2016.

Best regards,
The EIP team
