The ANR (French National Research Agency) Industrial Chairs programme is a powerful funding mechanism intended to forge or strengthen ties between the academic world and industry: it provides financial peace of mind for project players, combining the quest for excellence, industrial innovation and knowledge dissemination.
Whatever their research topic, teaching researchers and researchers working within a public higher education and research institution, or a public research organisation, are invited to submit an ambitious and innovative strategic research project with an industrial scope of 4 years, and with a budget of between 1 and 2.4 million euros financed equally between the ANR and industrial companies. The call for projects will close on 10 March at 1 pm.
