Description
Canada and France enjoy a long-standing cooperation in science, technology and innovation.
In support of priority areas identified by the Canada-France Joint Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation, NSERC, in partnership with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), in collaboration with IVADO, is partnering with the French National Research Agency (ANR) to fund collaborative research projects on artificial intelligence (AI).
This call for research proposals aims to foster scientific collaborations and knowledge exchange between leading-edge researchers in Canada and France, driving advancements in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. Specifically, this call will support collaborative multi- and interdisciplinary research projects that address generative AI and the security and safety of embedded AI. Through these joint projects, the funding partners aim to leverage the unique expertise and resources of both Canadian and French academic research excellence.
Multi- and interdisciplinary projects based on new methods and innovative concepts that incorporate both theoretical and practical approaches are strongly encouraged. These projects should span across the fields of natural sciences, engineering, humanities, social sciences, and health while also addressing ethical considerations. The Generic call for proposals 2025 (AAPG 2025) research theme open to the bilateral collaboration with Canada is E.2: Artificial intelligence and data science.
The deadline for the France-based coordinator to submit their proposal to ANR is March 27, 2025, at 5 pm CET.
The deadline for the Canada-based Principal Applicant to submit their simplified application to NSERC on behalf of the Canadian team is March 31, 2025 at 5 pm ET.
