Inria’s European and International Partnerships Department (EIPD) launches the 2016 call for Inria Associate Team proposals.
An Associate Team is a joint research project created between an Inria project-team and a research team from abroad. The two partners jointly define a scientific objective with a clear added value for each of them, a research plan and a program for bilateral exchanges.
Successfull proposals are created for a period of three years and are awarded a grant from Inria in the range of 10 000 – 15 000€ /year.
Application guidelines
An Associate Team proposal must be edited and submitted by the French PI via the dedicated Web site at:
https://drisi.inria.fr/eaEquipeAssociee/new
Proposals will be evaluated by Inria’s COST-GTRI[1] according to the following criteria:
- Scientific excellence of the project (motivation of the general problems, identification of the main challenges, intended approaches/methodologies/ techniques)
- Balanced participation of researchers from various career stages and contribution to fostering young researchers’ participation
- Relevance and consistency of the mobility and work program
- Expected results and impact of the joint project for each partner (mutual advancement of research through the transfer of knowledge and expertise)
- Criteria related to a specific call, as is the case, e.g., for the call supporting CITRIS-Inria collaborations
[1] Scientific Committee in charge of project evaluations.
This year, the call includes a new partnership with CITRIS to support Inria-CITRIS Associate Teams (see below)
Inria-CITRIS Partnership for Associate Team’s call 2016
Acknowledging the fruitful collaboration between Inria and the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), as well as the need to increase the leverage of the seed funding provided by Inria@SiliconValley, we invite proposals for ambitious collaborative projects.
The targeted projects will be elaborated in the context of the Associate Team program. The concrete implementation of the project must further be supported by complementary grants to be applied for, in the first year(s) of the Associate Team.
In that direction, successful Associate Team applicants will submit proposals to the CITRIS seed funding program, provided the proposals meet the program’s requirements.
Proposals for this specific call of the Associate Team program are expected to have:
- A research focus that meets Inria and CITRIS themes
- A French Principal Investigator (FPI) who is member of an Inria Research team and an American Principal Investigator (API) who is a CITRIS PI and member of one of the CITRIS campuses: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Merced, UC Santa Cruz.
While previous collaboration between the PIs is a plus, a proposal may also be the occasion to launch new collaborations based on common research interests.
Proposals submitted to the Inria-CITRIS specific call for Associate Teams must follow the general guidelines of the Inria Associate Team Program as well as introduce the key objectives of the foreseen collaborative project.
For further information, feel free to contact:
- Valérie Issarny, Scientific coordinator of Inria@SiliconValley.
- Camille Crittenden, CITRIS deputy director.
Important dates:
The submission deadline for the 2016 Associate Team call is September 30, 2015
Inria Associate Teams results will be published by the end of January, 2016
