Pour la troisième année consécutive, l'association franco-suédoise pour la recherche (AFSR) lance l'appel à candidatures auprès des doctorants et post-docs suédois et français dont leur recherche se focalise sur la ville du futur, verte, durable et inclusive. Date-limite pour postuler : 30 novembre 2020.
This year, 2020, is the third consecutive year that AFSR invites young French and Swedish post-docs and doctoral students to present ongoing or intended research projects oriented towards the green, inclusive and sustainable city of the future. For 2020 we suggest an overarching theme that may include different, specific topics. We hope thereby to attract the interest of young post-docs and doctoral students from different disciplines and faculties, with different perspectives on the subject matter.
French and Swedish post-docs and doctoral students are invited to present projects or project ideas which fall within the overarching theme of AFSR's Prize of 2020, which is:
The ideas and/or solutions can be based on a technological, organizational, econo-sociological or ecological approach. Examples of topics that fall within the overarching theme may be:
A winning application should meet all, or most of the following characteristics:
Eligible to apply for the prize are young post-docs and doctoral students working in a French or Swedish university or research institution during the academic year of 2020-2021.
The purpose of the prize is to reward scientific excellence of young post-docs and doctoral students in France and Sweden, and, at the same time, to encourage and promote scientific co-operation between the two countries. It is therefore mandatory for the applicant to present a Swedish (for somebody applying from France) or French (for somebody applying from Sweden) research institution where she/he is welcome to spend a 2-4 week long (post-docs) or 2-week long (doctoral students) internship.
The existing co-operation or the possibility of future co-operation should be confirmed, in writing, by the partnering institution in the other country.
