The IRD is launching a call for proposals to support international conferences organised or co-organised by IRD research units or researchers, or partner institutions. This call concerns conferences to be held in 2022.
Selection criteria
The selection of conferences eligible for financial support is made by the Institute's Science division, according to the following criteria:
the scientific quality of the event and its consistency with the IRD's scientific priorities, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals; high-level interdisciplinary conferences and sessions organised by CoSavs as part of international conferences will be given priority;
The involvement of researchers from the South and the holding of the conference in the South (the funding requested must be primarily intended for the participation of partner researchers from the South);
IRD's visibility (organiser, co-organiser, member of the scientific committee);
The impact of the conference (international, number of participants, quality of speakers);
co-financing arrangements ;
Please note: in-house seminars, summer schools, workshops or team meetings are not covered by this call for proposals, nor is funding for participation in conferences (registration fees, travel expenses, etc.).
