The 2026 France Canada Research Fund (FCRF) New Research Collaboration Program, which promotes partnerships between researchers in Canada and France, has launched.
This program is open to every field of expertise and promotes interdisciplinary projects. The program provides funding for new scientific projects jointly developed by French and Canadian teams that have never worked together before. Applications must come from principal investigators, both from research establishments located in France and Canada.
