Dear
Professors, Searchers,
I am the Scientific Attaché from the Consulat General de
France in Toronto. Every year, the French
Ministry of Foreign Affairs is awarding airplane
tickets to support cooperative research projects involving both French and
Canadian confirmed searchers. The aim is to promote cooperation in
research between France and
Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
This help could have two alternatives:
- missions (from
France to
Canada)
- invitations (from
Canada to France).
Applications are gathered by the scientific service of the
French Embassy and a selection is made by the Scientific Counsellor. All the
fields of science are concerned, obviously each year there are a list of
priorities.
Another way of helping searchers has been developed through
few sabbatical periods from 1 to 3 months in
France (called SSHN Séjours Scientifiques de Haut Niveau). The transport
is at the own charge of the searcher but the help is about 1700 euros
monthly.
The deadlines for 2006’s schedule application is September 26,
but the period of application should be extended to 1or 2 more weeks
from September 26. Would you please send me back the collaboration
program 2006.xls enclosed as soon
as possible. Thank you.
All the information about airplane tickets (and sectors of
priority) and SSHN could be found on the French Embassy’s website, (link:
http://www.ambafrance-ca.org/hyperlab/AIDEMEM/IamCanadian.htm). If you want to apply to these helping programs or if you
need any query or additional information please don’t hesitate to contact
me.
Cordially,
