Call for proposals for science and technology workshops

5 July 2013

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê researchers are invited to submit funding proposals to run collaborative workshops with a science or technology focus as part of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê-French Embassy partnership.

The call for proposals marks the second year of a five-year partnership between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and the French Embassy's Department of Science & Technology, supporting collaborative discussion between senior researchers in France and at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê. Research leaders based at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê are invited to apply for funds to organise collaborative workshops involving up to eight participants from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and up to eight from research institutions in France.

The scheme funds workshops on any topic linking science and technology. Applications can be for discussions addressing work at the frontiers of basic or applied science, of relevance to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Grand Challenges or resonant with the European Union's framework programme. Previous workshops have considered subjects as diverse as the seismic fragility of urban infrastructure, the theoretical foundations of network analysis, and the chemical origins of life on earth.
