In May, the France-Canada Research Fund (FCRF) selected the 21 winning Franco-Canadian teams for the 2024 edition.

 

The FCRF supports collaborative research projects between France and Canada

In 2024, 21 new projects conducted jointly by Canadian and French teams will receive seed funding of $15,000. This sum will enable Franco-Canadian pairs to work together on a joint project. The fund is intended to finance the mobility of researchers to strengthen collaboration between research institutions in the two countries.

Winners of doctoral contracts from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research 

The positive impact of the FCRF on relations between universities and research centers in France and Canada is also supported by the awarding of three doctoral contracts per year. This year, contracts were awarded to doctoral schools for projects involving UBC, Western University and Université de Montréal. The students involved will benefit from French and Canadian co-supervision.
