Appels à projets

Appels à projets

PLAS@PAR finance divers projets de recherche innovants au sein de notre communauté. Ces financements visent à renforcer la cohésion entre les différents groupes de recherche de la Fédération en favorisant des projets collaboratifs inter-équipes, inter-unités et inter-disciplinaires. Ils ont également pour objectif de proposer des appels à projets inexistants au sein des établissements membres de la Fédération, ces appels étant pilotés par le Conseil de Fédération.

Dans ce cadre, nous soutenons également le financement d'une thèse doctorale, renforçant ainsi notre engagement en faveur de la formation et du développement de la recherche au sein de la communauté.

Les appels sont publiés sur cette page et communiqués à l’ensemble des membres de la Fédération grâce à notre newsletter, vérifiez vos emails !

Context

The Fédération de Recherche Plasmas à Paris (PLAS@PAR) invites applications from its members to support research in plasma physics, covering fundamental processes, applications, numerical studies, experiments, and observations. PLAS@PAR encourages collaborative research projects, and eligible proposals may include:

  • Requests for small equipment and operational expenses not typically covered by the laboratory. Note that the Federation will not cover expenses for attending conferences, purchasing personal computers, laptops, etc.
  • Support for experiments conducted at large-scale international research facilities.
  • National and international collaborations, including invitations for visiting researchers.
  • Training initiatives such as workshops, summer schools, and other educational programs. 

 

Evaluation criteria

  • Scientific quality of the project
  • Relevance to the scope of PLAS@PAR.
  • Collaboration between teams within PLAS@PAR
  • National and international positioning of the research.
  • Feasibility of the project within the allocated time frame.
  • Ability to spend the allocated budget before the end of the year..
  • Additional or co-funding opportunities
