It provided more than €110,000 funding for three annual workshops over five years. A call for workshop proposals - providing an opportunity for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê researchers to bid for funds to support collaborative workshops on research challenges in science and technology, between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê researchers and colleagues based at research institutions in France - will be announced in late September.
