The 1^st page must include the signature of the Director(s) of the laboratory(ies).

Follow up of the funded project:

The support of PLAS@PAR must be mentioned in any oral or written scientific communication. Also, the mention: « This work has been done within the LABEX PLAS@PAR project, and received financial state aid managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, as part of the Programme Investissements d'Avenir (PIA) under the reference ANR-11-IDEX-0004-02 » should clearly appear in all communications.

DEADLINE: return date for proposals is April 12, 2018 (18:00).

Support from PLAS@PAR will be given to projects allowing structuring within the Labex.

The call targets an invitation of international teachers or researchers (limited to a maximum of 2 months, funded by UPMC on Labex budget). In this call, the Labex will finance a total of 8 months of invitations.

Besides the scientific relevance of the project (including international positioning, aim and expected results of the collaboration), the following criteria will be taken into account during the evaluation process of the proposal by the steering committee:

• Relevance of the project with respect to the objectives of PLAS@PAR (see below),
• Cross work between teams of PLAS@PAR,
• Training activities (especially seminars and lectures)

Return date for proposals is expected by April 12, 2018 (18:00).
