Associate Teams (2027 call for proposals)

The Associate Teams programme supports bilateral scientific collaborations between an Inria project team and a research team abroad for a period of three years. Partners jointly define a scientific objective, a research plan and a bilateral exchange programme. The programme's budget covers exchanges of researchers, engineers, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students and interns, and the organisation of joint workshops. Proposals must align with national or local priorities set out in the 2027 call.

Funding for researcher exchanges (including engineers, postdocs, doctoral students and interns) and support for organising joint workshops.

A proposal must be a joint project between an Inria project team and a research team abroad. All Inria centres are eligible for national priorities; local priorities are eligible only for project teams affiliated with the relevant Inria centre.

Submit a proposal in response to the 2027 call for proposals by the stated deadline; proposals must align with the programme's national or local priorities.
