The regional programmes MATH-AmSud, STIC-AmSud and CLIMAT-AmSud are initiatives of the French cooperation (French Ministry for Foreign Affairs) and counterparts from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, aimed to promote and strengthen the collaboration and to foster the creation of networks of research and development in the fields of:
- mathematics (MATH-AmSud),
- Information and Communication Science and Technology (STIC-AmSud),
- and climate variability and change (CLIMAT-AmSud)
for the realisation joint projects through the mobility of investigators.
Note that Ecuador and Venezuela are only participating in MATH-AmSud and STIC-AmSud but are not participating in CLIMAT-AmSud.
Eligible participants:
The following categories are entitled to apply: researchers from research units and laboratories (public or private) linked to higher education institutions, research organisations or companies.
Each project must associate at least one French research group and at least two South American countries participating respectively in the programmes STIC, MATH or CLIMAT AmSud. However, the development of regional research projects with three or more countries in the region associated with the program will be highly valued at the time of project evaluation.
For those who have already participated in an AmSud project, it is recommended to be very careful with incompatibilities such as: the national coordinators, as well as the international coordinator, who have been part of projects financed by the program, they can only present a new project, as long as the final report of the previous one has been approved.
