Co-organisation of international scientific conferences (CoISC) - 2026 Call
CONTEXT & OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the initiative is to support the funding and co-organisation of colloquia, conferences, workshops, or congresses to be held in the Centre-Val de Loire region between April 2027 and July 2028.
The objective is to foster scientific and interdisciplinary exchanges and to encourage the development of new international collaborations by attracting both national and international participants, thereby broadening the arena of scholarly dialogue.
This call for proposals is open to Le Studium awardees being welcomed in the Centre-Val de Loire region between January 2026 and June 2027.
Proposals may also involve hosting a scheduled edition of an established international conference series that takes place annually or biennially.
The proposed event must result into a scientific report published on HAL.
Proposals demonstrating multi- or interdisciplinary work, the involvement of multiple regional laboratories, or the participation of several Le Studium Fellows will be particularly valued.
