CY Generations┋Emergence

IMPORTANT: This call is restricted to CY Generations institutions (CY Cergy Paris University, ESSEC, CY Alliance institution & CY Generations partners) / Cet appel est réservé aux chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs en poste dans un établissement partenaire de CY Générations (CY Cergy Paris Université, ESSEC, institutions CY Alliance et partenaires CY Générations). 

The CY Generations (CYG) call for proposals will finance multidisciplinary projects, involving Sustainable Development Goals, and leaded by laboratories included in CY Cergy Paris University, ESSEC Business School, CY Alliance institutions, CEREMA & Learning Plannet Institute.

Aim 

The aim of this call for proposals is to support projects from the  CYG scientific community that contribute to the development of scientific excellence. The scientific quality of the projects, their contribution to visibility, attractiveness and the dynamics of excellence will be decisive. 

Targeted projects include the emergence of original research projects, both at the level of individual researchers and research groups, that seek to explore new research directions or to consolidate existing research expertise. The projects supported will contribute to the development of international scientific collaborations. 

Projects supported under this funding scheme are expected to demonstrate their ability to attract external funding for research activities (national or international funding agencies) in order to sustain their scientific aims beyond the support received from the present call. 

Areas of research  

The present call for proposals welcomes both fundamental and applied research projects in all scientific disciplines. 

Beyond the scientific quality of the projects, the CYG aims to shed light on sustainable development issues through the development of high-level academic research. These issues will be understood in their global complexity, favouring an interdisciplinary approach, mobilizing different laboratories (at least 2), different disciplines within the major disciplinary fields, and more broadly combining social sciences and modelling with other disciplinary fields.

Programme

The EMERGENCE PROGRAMME aims to incubate the development of innovative research projects, powered by a small team, in preparation for external research funding; Emerging research projects with high potential can be supported under the present call for a period of 2 years, up to €50k.
