Past calls for proposals
Call for applications – Chairs of Excellence: Tremplin Outre-Mer
The overseas territories are strategic areas for French research, due to: their environmental, climatic, health, societal and cultural specificities; their geographical position in key areas (Caribbean, Amazonia, Indian Ocean, Pacific); their potential for scientific and diplomatic influence at the regional (basins) and international levels.
Call for projects – FLASH "Scientific cooperations France-Greenland" 2026 Edition
Greenland now occupies a unique place at the crossroads of major scientific issues and growing geopolitical tensions. A key territory for the understanding of global climate and environmental dynamics, it is also affected by rapid transformations affecting its ecosystems, natural resources, infrastructure and inhabitants, the majority of whom are indigenous.
INDUSTRIAL CHAIRS - 2026
The aim of this program is threefold: To conduct and structure scientific research in strategic and priority areas via an effective and lasting partnership between public and private organisms.
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.
The 2026 Call for Proposals ASTRID : Specific support for Defence Projects and Innovation : Maturation and valorisation
L’Agence nationale de la recherche lance en partenariat avec l’Agence de l’innovation de défense (AID) – service à compétence nationale rattaché à la Direction générale de l’armement (DGA) –, l’édition 2026 de l’appel à projets ASTRID Maturation, « Accompagnement Spécifique des travaux de Recherches et d’Innovation Défense : Maturation et valorisation ».

Call for proposals : ACCESS ERC STARTING GRANTS 2026
The Access ERC 2026 call is open exclusively to disciplines in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
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).
The 2026 Call for Proposals ASTRID : Specific support for Defence Projects and Innovation
The 16th edition of the call for proposals ASTRID – Specific Support for Defence Research Projects and Innovation, operated by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and financed by the French Defence Innovation Agency (AID) is now open to applicants.
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.
Quantum Technologies: QuantERA’s 5th Call for proposals
The QuantERA III consortium, coordinated by the National Science Centre (NCN), and with the ANR as one of its partners, is launching a new call for proposals to fund transnational research projects in Quantum Sciences and Technologies, in support to the actions of the Quantum Technologies Flagship. Through this Call, the QuantERA III consortium aims at stimulating and intensifying research and innovation in the field of Quantum Technologies, contributing to the Strategic Research and Industry Agenda of the European Quantum Technology community. The call will gather 34 funding organisations, including the ANR, in 29 countries.
