In May, the France-Canada Research Fund (FCRF) selected the 20 winning Franco-Canadian teams for the 2023 edition.

The FCRF supports collaborative research projects between France and Canada

In 2023, 20 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.

Who are the 2023 winners?

This year, 5 of the 20 projects selected are part of the “One Health” and “Climate change and adaptation to extreme environments” priority themes.

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 Dalhousie University, Université de Sherbrooke and University of Alberta. The students involved will benefit from French and Canadian co-supervision.
