French ANR call 2015 – Hosting High-level researchers

The French National Research Agency has just published the second edition of the “Hosting High-Level Researchers” call. This funding instrument dedicated to individuals and open to all scientific fields enables “junior” or “senior” researchers from any country to carry out an ambitious research project in a reputed institution in France. The ANR funding is designed to help French laboratories fulfill their role as host and researchers to conduct their research.

See the description of the program on the site of the French National Research Agency.

Research Forum in humanities and social sciences in the Czech Republic

The “CEFRES Platform” is glad to invite you to the

RESEARCH FORUM IN HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC. The forum will contribute to draft the CEFRES’s scientific policy and to set in motion European scientific cooperations.

The CEFRES is writing a new page of its history in the wake of the Cooperation Agreement signed on 21 November 2014 between the Embassy of France in the Czech Republic, the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the Charles University (UK) and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (AV ČR). A Czech-French cooperation platform in the humanities and social sciences, the “CEFRES Platform” was thus initiated between the CEFRES, the UK and the AV ČR. The CEFRES’s scientific policy, that is, its three research orientations, needs be defined after close consultation with its partners in the Czech Republic.

This upcoming April a series of bi-disciplinary gatherings will allow researchers from every field in the humanities and the social sciences to introduce their research topics. Discussions will help coining down potential collaborations with the CEFRES. The new director of the center, Ms. Clara Royer, will outline the perspectives of an institution, which after 25 years of existence, is turning into a key element of the Czech academic milieu.

Schedule of the gatherings (to be updated):

8 April Philosophy / Sociology
13 April Sociology/ Literature
14 April Philosophy / Art History
22 April History / Politology
28 April History / Jewish Studies

Presentations should be about 10 minutes. Researchers from each field can choose between two gatherings on two different days and are welcome to attend the whole Forum. At the end of each meeting a “verre de l’amitié” will be offered by the CEFRES.
