Carleton University is a member of the France-Canada Research Fund (FCRF), which funds new research collaborations between researchers in Canada (from member institutions) and France (from any research institution). The annual competition provides up to $15,000 for faculty members to start new projects with a partner in France and support the travel and research activities of young researchers (Master’s and PhD students, or postdoctoral fellows).
The program is open to researchers in all disciplines and promotes interdisciplinary teams, with 15 awards available per year. For the details on the program and guidelines, visit the Embassy of France in Canada webpage here.
