First call for projects "Scientific exploration of data from research infrastructures” - ESDIR 2022

France invests significant resources in the development and implementation of large research infrastructures, whether on a national scale or in the context of large international cooperative projects. These resources are mainly used for initial investments or to fund experimental campaigns.
However, unlike other countries, France has not set up specific support programmes for the scientific exploration of data obtained by these research infrastructures.
To fill this gap, it was decided to develop a first pilot research call voluntarily limited to two large infrastructures. This research-funding support instrument aims at supporting research projects focusing on the scientific exploration of data from research infrastructures.
Scope and scientific objectives
This first call for projects ESDIR 2022 is limited to two research infrastructures and to the following topics
- Axis 1: the French Oceanographic Fleet (FOF)
Proposals can relate to any scientific theme. Proposals must focus exclusively to the use of data acquired by scientific projects selected by the National Commission of the Offshore Fleet (CNFH) for which at least one cruise mission took place in 2021.
- Axis 2: CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
Proposals must address exclusively the following two topics:
- The understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking in a broad sense, e.g. the determination of the couplings of the Higgs boson and its self-coupling ;
- The search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, either through a direct approach of searching for new particles or through an indirect approach of precision measurements.
- The understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking in a broad sense, e.g. the determination of the couplings of the Higgs boson and its self-coupling ;
In addition to data analysis activities, projects may include related work to better use the raw detector data (characterization and performance improvement on physics objects) as well as related software development.

Consult the upcoming and current calls of the appelsprojetsrecherche.fr portal
The appelsprojetsrecherche.fr portal centralises all information on calls for proposals and calls for applications from ADEME, ANR, Inserm including ANRS, Anses and INCa. It provides a simplified access to upcoming and ongoing calls, giving a greater visibility to funding opportunities. Following their closing date, the calls remain published for a few months.
