ICL internal calls for projects

The development of research is one of the strategic objectives of the President-Rector’s programme ‘Our university: an opportunity at the heart of transitions’ (2020–2025). Numerous actions are being undertaken to strengthen and promote research and teacher-researchers, including the launch of internal calls for projects, which are evaluated by external and independent juries.

External calls for proposals

The ICL provides its teams with various resources, including the Funding Hub, the Vice-Rectorate for Research and project engineering officers. These structures are there to support research activities and assist project leaders in their participation in high-level projects such as the ERC, Marie Sklodowska-Curie, ANR, etc. They also contribute to the promotion of the results of these projects.
