Objective
To contribute to the creation of sustainable collaborations between Canadian and French researchers, who wish to spend 5 to 28 days with their counterpart(s), either in France or Canada, as part of a joint research project.
Research stays may include, but are not limited to meetings/research on joint project, meetings for a first contact for future collaboration, work on co-publications, participation in French-Canadian (not international) conferences or seminars, etc.
Eligibility
Candidates must:
- Be attached to a laboratory or department of a Canadian or French university or research organization.
- Candidates have never received a grant under the Mourou/Strickland mobility program or the “new collaborations” program of the France Canada Research Fund.
- Candidates should not apply for the “new collaborations” program of the France Canada Research Fund in the same year.
Priority will be given to long stay and to researchers who have obtained a tenure-track or permanent position for less than 10 years, which corresponds approximately and not exclusively to the 35-45 age group.
How to Apply
York University researchers are reminded that all applications for external research funding, including Letters of Intent, must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Services before they are submitted to the granting agency. For internal approval, the application must be accompanied by a completed ORS Checklist, which requires the Dean’s signature. Please send the complete application, with the finalized budget and a completed ORS checklist to sciapps@yorku.ca, five days prior to agency deadline.
