The annual call for research proposals to prepare CNES's space science research programme for 2021 is now open!
Laboratory research teams are invited to submit their proposals by midnight on 20 April 2020 on the dedicated APR website.
You will find the text of the call for proposals, the response form, the terms and conditions for responding and the user manual.
Please note: Due to the launch of the specific OSTST Call for Proposals in spring 2020, this year's CNES RPA is not eligible for OSTST-labelled projects.
Please note: project leaders involved in the SWOT mission who were selected in the ROSES/CNES call for projects in 2019 are invited to submit their proposals for 2021 via the dedicated APR site. As the TOSCA selection committee only took place very recently, the project leaders of the selected projects will only be informed by the end of March.
Reminder: APR applies both to new proposals and to the continuation of existing APR projects. All committed projects must be the subject of an annual update of the proposal (highlighting the extent to which the recommendations of the TOSCA committee have been taken into account and the state of progress of the project) and of the funding application.
Reminder: In the menu on the left, "duplicate a proposal" can be used to create a proposal based on a proposal from the previous year. This makes it possible to take over a proposal that has already been submitted.
The cloned proposal will be displayed with the pre-entered fields of the previous proposal that can be updated.
