As part of the "Building the European Research Area and International Attractiveness" component of the 2024 Action Plan, the "MRSEI" instrument has been renewed with a continuous submission format involving two selection sessions.
Under this call for proposals, only proposals aimed at setting up a European or international scientific network, coordinated by a French team, are expected. These research networks set up under the MRSEI programme are required to apply for an ambitious European or international call for projects. NB: For any information or guidance concerning the "Horizon Europe" calls, please contact the NCPs (National Contact Points).
Selected proposals will receive a maximum of €36k for a 24-month period. The grant will be used exclusively to finance actions to develop or strengthen the scientific network (mission expenses, meetings, receptions, etc.) and/or services to help the coordinator set up the European or international project.
The ANR has taken steps to ensure that decisions are taken and funding put in place very quickly:
- a simplified submission file;
- a single beneficiary of the aid on behalf of the entire consortium: the French research organisation;
- peer selection in a single phase;
- a unilateral financing decision procedure
The call is open continuously, but with 2 evaluation sessions. All documents must be submitted on the ANR submission site before one of the two closing dates of the call: 29 February 2024 & 12 September 2024
