CNES Call for Proposals - APR - Scientific research proposals 2025

25 September 2024

This Call for Research Proposals (APR) prepares the CNES space science research program for the year 2025; the call concerns national projects as well as projects from ESA and other agencies. The call will be open from Monday June 3 to Wednesday September 25, 2024.

The APR covers the following activities

  • preparatory studies,
  • scientific support for space missions under development,
  • support for missions in operation, microgravity experiments,
  • support for operations,
  • experiments on research aircraft,
  • ground and analog simulations,
  • international calls for tender and missions of opportunity.

The APR does not cover R&T proposals, nor research grants for doctoral and post-doctoral students.

This year, proposals for balloon experiments will not be dealt with in the APR process, due to the timing difference. They will therefore be the subject of a specific process.

Please send them (technical file and financial appendix) by e-mail to ballons-apr@cnes.fr before April 30, 2024.
The documents presenting the CNES balloon offers and the various technical elements can be consulted at this address : Balloon experiments (cnes.fr).
