The aim of the INFRA programme is to promote and support research in the strategic domains of hardware and software infrastructures for the Internet of the future, ambient intelligence, new services and associated modes of utilization, high-performance computing and storage, and ubiquitous availability of data, information and multimedia content.
These infrastructures are very widely distributed on highly diverse scales (multi-scale), involving equipment items of very different and heterogeneous natures, ranging from networks of objects (sensors, micro and nano-controllers, etc.) to massively parallel architectures (including multi-core parallelism) and machine grids on the scale of the Internet.
This programme is designed specifically to accompany the rise of the digital society, on the following topics:
The thematic lines for this programme are:
The ANR and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) have agreed to promote collaborations between French and Chinese research teams.
The ANR and its Canadian counterpart NSERC have agreed to promote collaborations between French and Canadian research teams.
The specific conditions of the above-mentioned international collaborations are described in the "Conditions of submission, evaluation and selection of transnational projects", available below.
The links to the submission web sites will be available no later than 01/12/2012.
The complete submission file comprises two documents that must be filled out:

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.
