For the Call for Projects 2022, the Smart Loire Valley (SLV) Programme offers Visiting Researchers awards.

LE STUDIUM VISITING RESEARCHER award is an opportunity for senior scientists on leave from their institution with salary maintenance to integrate a high-level laboratory in the Centre-Val de Loire region and the LE STUDIUM international faculty for periods of between 3 to 12 months. Experienced international researchers are eligible to submit an application after having negotiated their acceptance to a host laboratory and/or host enterprise in CentreVal de Loire. This award allows a starting date for the residence from September 2022 to June 2023.

This programme supports the installation of the visiting researcher and his/her family in the region (accommodation, logistics, administrative support). This programme is also well suited to researchers holding an Individual Fellowship (like Full Bright, Marie SkłodowskaCurie Individual Fellowship, etc…) willing to complete their fellowship in the region
