The PAUSE programme launches a new call for applications for 2022

Researcher, Institutions

The Programme for the Emergency Reception of Scientists in Exile (PAUSE in French), has just opened the first call for applications for 2022. The deadline to submit your application is set on 28 January 2022.

The PAUSE programme (“Programme national d’Accueil en Urgence de Scientifiques en Exil” in French) is a national programme providing incentive funding to public higher education institutions and public research organisations planning to take in scientists in exile.

The PAUSE programme has just opened a new call for applications for higher education and/or research institutions. The deadline for applications from host higher education and/or research institutions is 28 January 2022.

 

Who is eligible?

Are eligible to apply for this programme: higher education and research institutions under the supervision of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and private higher education institutions of general interest (EESPIG in French), as well as certain institutions of the Ministry of Culture.

Subsidies granted as part of the programme aim at funding projects for the reception of foreign scientists from any geographic origin and for any scientific programme, regardless of the field.

What funding?

The amount of funding allocated varies according to the status and experience of the beneficiary and the existence of a social support project by the host institution:

  • Category 1 (doctoral student, research assistant), up to 20,000 euros;
  • Category 2 (post-doctoral student, lecturer, research engineer), up to 40,000 euros;
  • Category 3 (university professor, research director), up to 60,000 euros.

The financial support received to host an applicant covers a maximum period of one year over the duration of the host project. It may be renewed once.

 

How to apply?

Applications are prepared and presented by the host institution. If an institution wants to volunteer to host a scientist at risk, but is not in direct contact with a researcher, the Collège de France entity can put the institution in touch with one of the researchers who has applied directly to the programme.
