French Korean call for proposals in “Biotechnologies using Artificial Intelligence” 2025 edition

As long-standing partners in research and innovation, France and South Korea reaffirmed their desire to join forces to step up their scientific cooperation by identifying promising thematic priorities at the 8th Joint Strategic Committee on Science and Technology, held in Paris on 20 June 2023. 

On this occasion, it was agreed that the French National Research Agency (ANR) and the Korean National Research Foundation (NRF) would  set up co-funded calls for research  projects proposals. 

In a global context where artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming the landscape and the practice of science and technology, ANR and NRF are launching a 1st call for proposals dedicated to Biotechnologies using Artificial Intelligence.  

Artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology are two rapidly expanding fields that offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation and the development of breakthrough solutions.

The objective of this call is to promote collaboration between French and Korean academic researchers with a view to exploring and developing AI applications in the field of biotechnology. 

The project proposals submitted within this scope may encompass a broad spectrum of themes, including but not limited to bioinformatics and genomics, personalised medicine, precision agriculture, and drug discovery.

Research topics covered by this call, as well as details on the eligibility requirements for this call are specified in the call text available below on this page in the Documents section. The template to be used for proposals is also available in this section.

Project proposals must be submitted on the respective submission platforms of the ANR and the NRF.
