Request a grant

Vous pouvez ici faire une demande de cofinancement pour la réalisation de projets scientifiques. Les demandes seront faites au fil de l’eau et évaluées rapidement par le directoire. Le montant accordé sera exceptionnellement supérieur à 500€. Il s’agira prioritairement de cofinancer des déplacements de jeunes chercheurs (doctorants, post-doctorants, chercheurs permanents juniors) pour la réalisation d’expériences impliquant au moins une équipe du GIS, sur une thématique du GIS.  Un court rapport non confidentiel sera envoyé au GIS à l’issue de la mission et publié sur ce site. Le GIS frenchBIC sera impérativement remercié dans les publications (s’il y en a) qui auront bénéficié de ce financement.

 Here you can request a grant to help the realisation of a scientific project. The goal is to facilitate the work of young researchers (PhD, post-doc, junior scientitst) and the collaborations between the various FrenchBIC research groups, or between one FrenchBIC research group and one group outside FrenchBIC, on a project related to the activities of the FrenchBIC network. There is no dead-line, the board of FrenchBIC will examine and approve each proposal ASAP. You can request up to 500€. You agree to send a non-confidential, short report that will be published on this site when the mission is over. FrenchBIC must be acknowledged on any publication that may result from the work that is co-funded by FrenchBIC.
