This new call is for events scheduled from October to December 2023. Only French teaching and research institutions can apply.

• To encourage the participation of foreign researchers in scientific events organized in France;

This program does not fund seminars, annual conferences or summer schools.

Projects will be evaluated by a selection panel that will pay particular attention to events that :

• that promote scientific interdisciplinarity;
• that are held in France and are international in scope;
• that promote the participation of young researchers.
