2025 : CNRS Africa Plan – 2 calls for projects

CNRS Africa Plan

2 calls for projects:

  • ‘Visiting Fellowships’
  • ‘Residential Research Schools’
  • Scheduled opening date on noa.cnrs.fr by 25 November 2024
  • Closing date: 14 January 2025
  • Announcement of results and notification of funding: April-May 2025

Following the great success of the Joint Research Program in Africa call, and in line with the CNRS’s multi-year cooperation plan with Africa, the CNRS will soon be reopening two campaigns to continue strengthening its scientific cooperation with Africa.

The first will concern residential research schools. The call will be aimed at organising residential research schools in a partner institution in Africa, with the aim of facilitating the transfer of knowledge by combining courses ranging from basic concepts to the most advanced research results, as well as the mastery of tools and methodology.

The second will be Visiting Fellowships. The aim of this call for proposals is to bring together two researchers at the start of their careers, one from a CNRS laboratory and the other from an African academic institution. A grant of 8 to 12 weeks is awarded to the pair, with a compulsory residential stay in the project leader’s laboratory in France.

The call is expected to open before the end of 2024.
