Engaging in scientific outreach on campus: a funding opportunity for your projects!

Since 2020, the French National Research Agency (ANR) has launched calls for proposals to support the implementation of scientific communication, mediation and outreach initiatives based on the challenges, methods and results of the Institut Pasteur's research projects.
Find out more about the opportunity to apply for a grant to fund your scientific outreach projects on campus.

 

  • What are SAPS-CSTI calls for proposals?

The aim of "Science with and for society – scientific, technical and industrial culture" (SAPS-CSTI) calls for proposals is to support initiatives that promote an awareness of scientific and technical culture to a non-academic audience. Initiatives led by scientists on campus aimed at this audience may be eligible for funding of up to €5,000 per project.

Projects selected in ANR calls for proposals will be given priority, but any non-allocated funds will be redistributed to other eligible projects.

* Activities must be aimed at a non-academic audience (general public, schools, associations, etc.)
