Exploratory Research Activities

Launched at the end of June 2025, these activities are funded on an ongoing basis, evaluated regularly, and may cover various projects such as:

  • Exploratory research projects: kick-starting existing projects to help them scale up (post-thesis software production, benchmark development, etc.) but also to strengthen international partnerships through mobility projects, hosting visiting professors (visits by professors for less than 6 months), and collaborative missions between laboratories (domestic and foreign);
  • Working groups (scientific coordination): this initiative supports the organization of thematic working groups with recurring meetings, as well as benchmark competitions, hackathons, and Junior Conferences.
