Mandated by the Swiss Confederation, the Germaine-de-Staël programme promotes French-Swiss research partnerships. It is open to all research disciplines and covers travel and accommodation costs for short stays with the partner team. The funding is broadly based and supports all disciplines, from the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences. The programme is open to all research institutions, which underlines the accessibility and diversity of research funding.
The call is open to any Swiss private or public research organisation (universities, research institutes, HES/FHS, etc.). Companies can participate in the project if they have joined an academic partner. A research partnership with a French group must already exist at the time the application is submitted. The French partner must submit its application at the same time to Campus France, which is responsible for the French side.
