2e édition de l’appel à projet bilatéral Franco-Tchèque sur le nucléaire

Objectives: The grant, initiated as a collaboration between the National Research Agency (ANR) and the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA CR), is designed to fund bilateral research and innovation projects in the nuclear field. This initiative follows the successful 2024 call where three projects were funded, marking a 50% selection rate. The 2025 edition invites collaborative research efforts directed towards practical applications, involving French and Czech partners. Eligibility requires the consortium to include at least one industrial Czech partner as a necessity. While French partners are encouraged to include enterprises, it remains optional. The research projects should align with specific nuclear safety, material, and reactor development themes, aiming for advancements tangible in real-world applications. Eligible projects will receive a substantial financial backing, up to a total of 1 million euros from the French side, issued by the Direction Générale Energie-Climat (DGEC). The projects should not exceed 36 months in duration, with a commenced start date in early 2026.
