Co-organisation of international scientific conferences (CoISC) - 2025 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 early April 2026 and end of July 2027.

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 of the Smart Loire Valley Programme.

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.

BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME

This call for applications does not target any specific research theme.

Le Studium will manage the entire organisational aspects of the event, including the event webpage, participant registration, venue, catering and hotels booking, communication documents, financial administration.

The scientific content, programme design, and dissemination to academic networks remain the responsibility of the researchers, who will co-organise the event in collaboration with their regional host laboratory.

Le Studium will co-fund up to 50% of the total event costs, with a maximum contribution of 8000 euros.
