Call for projects – FLASH: Pox virus in farmed ruminants
France, like Europe, is facing the emergence on its territory of highly contagious animal viral diseases caused by poxviruses, mainly affecting ruminant livestocks. Recent outbreaks, such as lumpy skin disease in cattle, have revealed the vulnerability of livestock systems and highlighted the need for the rapid availability of robust scientific knowledge and operational tools to anticipate, monitor and control these health crises, in order to limit their economic and social impacts.

Tremplin – ERC Consolidator Grant (T-ERC CoG) 2026
Designed to improve France’s success rate in European Research Council (ERC) calls, Tremplin-ERC (T-ERC) is a funding instrument set up by ANR as part of its Work Programme 2026. T-ERC is open to all ERC research disciplines (LS, PE, SH).
Call for proposals : Science avec et pour la société : Co-construire les politiques publiques par l’expertise scientifique (SAPS - CPPE 2026)
Originally intended to provide objective insight into issues and help decision-makers make informed choices, scientific expertise long relied on a clear separation between researchers — as knowledge producers — and public institutions responsible for action. These expert assessments, commissioned by public authorities, produce reports summarizing current knowledge on a given issue, territory, or population, often accompanied by syntheses for non-specialists and sometimes recommendations.
