Description
The France Canada Research Fund is a major instrument of Franco-Canadian scientific cooperation, created in 2000 through an agreement between the French Embassy in Canada and a consortium of 23 Canadian universities.
In twenty years, the FCRF has financed over 400 collaborative research projects. The FCRF is currently made up of 23 member universities and supports around 20 new projects each year. These projects are led by French and Canadian teams collaborating for the first time.
Laureates are awarded start-up grants of CA$8,000 to $15,000 to fund research and student mobility between the two countries. In 2020, the FCRF celebrated its 20th anniversary!!
- The FCRF is open to all fields of research.
- Applications must be for joint projects between a French institution (all universities, grandes écoles, research institutes and organizations are eligible) and one of the 23 Canadian universities that are members of the FCRF.
- The FCRF only funds new collaborations, and researchers who apply must never have worked together before (please refer to the FAQ and the FCRF guide for more information). It is essential that researchers include students and young researchers in their work teams.
- An annually updated FCRF guide is made available to researchers when the call for applications opens.
- Member universities may submit up to five applications. Pre-selected applications are evaluated in a second phase by committees of French and Canadian experts. The FCRF Executive Committee then decides on the final allocation of grants at its annual meeting.
