Launch of 2025 edition incentive programs

“We are convinced that only a collaborative, multidisciplinary, and transversal science can solve the most complex and pressing challenges we face.”

The senior management and the Executive Scientific Division through the Scientific Programming and Incentive Actions Service are pleased to announce you the launch of 2025 edition incentive programs.
The goal of this new edition is to enhance the impact of our incentive programs by prioritizing the most innovative, disruptive, and interdisciplinary projects which foster talent development and connections with the Pasteur Network, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

We will also focus on projects that leverage cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence.

Finally, particular attention will be given to projects that promote sustainability, talent development, entrepreneurship, societal engagement, equity, diversity and inclusion.
 
To achieve this goal, our incentive programs are evolving with the following key changes:
•    An integrated approach to strengthen our collective impact;
•    More funding and a variety of formats to address diverse needs;
•   An optimized selection process and renewed selection committees to continue raising the bar for scientific excellence.

To make Pasteur 2030 a reality, projects must fit with one or more of the Strategic Plan's priorities. We will also give special attention to "out of the box" projects that are high-risk, high-reward, that do not necessarily fit within the four priorities of the strategic plan.
 
Please find here the guidelines and application forms for the various incentive tools we offer:
1.    PERL - Pasteur Excellence in Research & Leadership Program (including the Pasteur-Roux-Cantarini post-doc fellowships);
2.    SPARK - Seeded Partnerships for Advancing Research & Knowledge (including the post-doctoral Calmette & Yersin post-doctoral fellowships);
3.    P2T - Pasteur Technology Training Program;
