The Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) invites researchers to pursue excellent, fundamental, curiosity-driven research in Oslo during the 2026/2027 academic year. Assemble your international dream team of prominent researchers and apply for a research stay at CAS.
Each year, we host three research groups engaging in research within and across the following fields:
NAPATA est le Partenariat Hubert Curien franco-Soudanais. Il est mis en œuvre en France par le Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères (MEAE) et le Ministère de l’Education nationale, de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (MESRI), et dans le pays partenaire par le Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique (MoHE).
Les appels à candidatures de ce programme sont lancés sur un rythme annuel.
Date limite de dépôt des dossiers de candidature : 06/02/2023
L’appel à projets « Recherche et Société(s) » vise à soutenir la recherche en collaboration sur tous les domaines thématiques, depuis l'évaluation "sociétale" d'une innovation jusqu'à la mise en oeuvre de programmes, par un consortium réunissant des laboratoires publics d’Occitanie et au moins une entreprise.
The aim of this topic is to develop innovative EGNSS applications to support societal resilience, safeguard the wellbeing of EU citizens, improve emergency and disaster management as a response to climate related, natural and man-made disasters and ensure green growth that protect the environment while generating economic growth.
The challenge is to make these applications more affordable, easy to use and integrated with other solutions and technologies, including for example earth observation, e.g. Copernicus services, in order to enable new targeted innovative solutions.
While facing climate change and natural resource scarcity, ensuring sufficient, nutritious, safe and affordable food to a fast growing world population with changing dietary habits becomes increasingly challenging. The protein supply is in this respect most critical, both for human consumption and animal feed.
Copernicus, the Union's Earth observation and monitoring programme entered into force in 2014 and produces a wealth of data and information regarding the Earth sub-systems (land, atmosphere, oceans and inland waters) and cross-cutting processes (climate change, disaster management and security). Copernicus data and information are mainly made available on a free, open and full basis. This is expected to unleash unique market opportunities.
The EU depends strongly on external sources for the supply of key fertilisers used in agriculture. Resource depletion and an increasing global demand for mineral fertilisers may, in the long term, lead to price tensions with an impact on food security. Mineral-based fertilisation also poses significant environmental problems, linked e.g. to the amounts of fossil energy needed to produce and transport these fertilisers.
In the past years several open service platforms for Active and Healthy Ageing domains have been developed, originating from the medical, independent living, and IoT domain. These platforms aim at building a common basis for application development, assuring interoperability at the application and service level, and reducing development cost by re-use of components. As these platforms mature more insight is needed in the way they contribute to the development of a scalable and open market for digital solutions for health and ageing, and which value is actually achieved through them.
The challenge of providing the inhabitants of European cities with affordable, safe, and nutritious food is both urgent and complex. Moreover, the health and wellbeing of EU citizens and consumers are directly affected by the way cities and regions themselves are shaping a sustainable food environment. Research and (open) innovation co-created with citizens are part of broader city-region food system approaches. Such initiatives stimulate the development of cities as innovative food hubs.
