Award procedureAutomatic online return
Applications for one-off support are examined by an ad-hoc committee made up of representatives of the founding members. The procedure then proceeds as follows:
Six evaluation criteria
- Timeliness
- One-off nature (no recurring operations funded under this heading)
- Scientific relevance (scientific quality and contribution to the Foundation’s scientific strategy)
- Structuring and federating nature within the Foundation’s scientific network
- Contribution to the national and international visibility of the Foundation’s community
- Added value of the Foundation’s involvement
- It is important to note that if a project is selected but not approved within 6 months of its selection, it will have to be resubmitted for selection.
Special case of support for eventsAutomatic line return
As of the second session of 2022, a rule has been introduced to cap support for events:

More than 100: €15,000
The committee may grant greater support on a case-by-case basis, depending on the outstanding nature of the event.
