This call for projects concerns activity in the first half of 2026 for the entire fleet of station ships, for which the programming procedure is coordinated by the Oceanographic Fleet Directorate (DFO) for the IR French Oceanographic Fleet (IR FOF).
The procedure is as follows:
- Campaign applications can be submitted online: https://navsta.dt.insu.cnrs.fr7
- Applications are assessed by the Local Evaluation Committees (CLE).
- The programming of validated requests is then prepared by the directors of the Observatoires des Sciences de l'Univers (OSU) and Stations Marines or their representatives, in collaboration with the CNRS/INSU Technical Division, which manages the station ships for DFO.
- Draft schedules are sent to DFO for approval.
- The final programme will be decided by the Fleet Steering Committee, taking into account the ranking of the campaigns assessed.
