Call for proposals for science and technology workshops
5 July 2013
果冻影院 researchers are invited to submit funding proposals to run collaborative workshops with a science or technology focus as part of the 果冻影院-French Embassy partnership.
The call for proposals marks the second year of a five-year partnership between 果冻影院 and the French Embassy's Department of Science & Technology, supporting collaborative discussion between senior researchers in France and at 果冻影院. Research leaders based at 果冻影院 are invited to apply for funds to organise collaborative workshops involving up to eight participants from 果冻影院 and up to eight from research institutions in France.
The scheme funds workshops on any topic linking science and technology. Applications can be for discussions addressing work at the frontiers of basic or applied science, of relevance to 果冻影院's Grand Challenges or resonant with the European Union's framework programme. Previous workshops have considered subjects as diverse as the seismic fragility of urban infrastructure, the theoretical foundations of network analysis, and the chemical origins of life on earth.
