On May 17, 2023, the French National Research Agency launched a call for proposals for the creation of a “Chair of excellence in Biology and Health” in France.

The aim is to provide top-level researchers from all backgrounds with substantial funding to carry out major new projects in these fields.

These chairs will be open to researchers already working in a French institution, but also to researchers working abroad who wish to set up a team or join a structure in France.

Candidates must have completed at least 7 years of research after their thesis defense, and must present projects lasting 5 years, up to a maximum of €2 million.
