The ISFIN Institute is dedicated to research and training in several key areas related to nuclear technologies: instrumentation for large-scale nuclear facilities, characterization of materials and structures, and fusion science.
The AMUtech Institute aims to foster and coordinate expertise in materials science and nanotechnology within Aix-Marseille University by promoting collaboration among research units, pooling scientific resources, and making state-of-the-art equipment available for training programs in the field.
In this context, this call for projects aims to strengthen scientific interactions between the research communities of the two institutes around materials and technologies for the nuclear sector.
This call serves as an incentive mechanism designed to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration between teams, the sharing of best practices, and the use of the site’s exceptional equipment. It does not replace the individual calls for projects issued by each institute but complements these initiatives.
Key Information:
- Funding: A total budget of €100,000 is allocated to this call for projects. Funding awarded may reach a maximum of €25,000 per project. Funding requests for smaller amounts may also be approved.
- Eligibility: Projects must involve at least two research teams, including at least one from the ISFIN Institute and one from the AMUtech Institute (external partners, platforms, or shared equipment may be involved as well).
- Submission deadline: September 30, 2026.
You will find all the detailed information in the attached application form, including evaluation criteria, submission procedures, and commitments required of project leaders.
Applications should be sent to the following addresses: isfin-direction@univ-amu.fr AND amutech-direction@univ-amu.fr.
Note: This call for projects is intended exclusively for the AMUtech and ISFIN communities.
