JOINT COMPETITION BY RFBR AND THE NCSR OF FRANCE FOR PROJECTS TO HOLD RUSSIAN-FRENCH AND FRENCH-RUSSIAN SEMINARS IN 2010

The Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) and the National Center for Scientific Research of France (“CNRS”) announce a competition for projects to organize and hold in 2010 bilateral scientific seminars either in France or in Russia in the following research areas:
(01) mathematics, information science and mechanics;
(02) physics and astronomy;
(03) chemistry and studies of materials;
(04) biology and medical science;
(05) Earth sciences;
(06) humanities and social sciences;
(07) information technologies and computer systems;
(08) fundamentals of engineering sciences.
Support to the holding of joint Russian-French and French-Russian seminars will be provided by the Foundation on a competitive basis regardless the age, academic status, academic degree or position of a particular scientist.
A scientist may submit only one application to take part in the competition in his capacity of project leader. Participation in the competition, regardless the results thereof, will not disqualify the applicant from participating in other RFBR-organized competitions. The total number of seminar participants must not be over 20, out of which 10 should be from the sending party and 10 from the receiving party. The total duration of a seminar should not exceed 3 days. 3 additional days may be provided to the sending party for its members to visit research centers as part of the seminar work. Seminars or workshops to be held: From June 1 to December 30, 2010.
All applications accepted to participate in the competition will undergo an independent parallel merit review: applications by French scientists will be reviewed by CNRS; applications by Russian scientists, by RFBR. Applications will be merit-reviewed by each side independently in accordance with its applicable rules. One of the prerequisite conditions is that seminar participants from either side should work for different research institutions (at least two). Information on the merit review process is strictly confidential. A final decision and an award will be made by the two sides jointly in each case. The results of the competition will be announced by May 20, 2010. Upon agreement on results, the list of projects awarded bilateral support will be published on the website.
Funding of projects shall be effectuated on the following principle: the receiving partner will pay for all expenses associated with the holding of a seminar, the sending partners will pay all associated travel expenses.
Applications will be accepted if submitted using the Grant-Express system during the period from January 20, 2010 to February 28, 2010. Printed-out copies must be received by the Foundation (address: 119991, Moscow, V-334, GSP-1, Leninsky prospekt, 32a) by March 15, 2010.
1) If a bilateral seminar is held in Russia, the Russian co-organizer of the seminar should submit an application using the Grant-Express system; and such application must be prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable to the main paragraph “g” competition of the RFBR which are effective during the year when the application is submitted (competition type: CNRS_g).
2) The Russian co-organizer of a joint seminar planned to be held in France will use the Grant-Express system to submit an application for a group of Russian scientists to take part in said seminar. Such applications must be drawn up in each case in accordance with the rules applicable to the main paragraph “z” competition of RFBR and effective during the relevant year (CNRS_z competition type);
In order to be able to receive RFBR funding, the Russian co-organizer of a seminar held within the territory of France and selected upon completion of the competition must -- within two months from the publication of a list of winning projects -- ensure that the other Russian participants of the seminar submit their individual applications using the Grant-Express system, and such applications must be drawn up in accordance with the rules and requirements applicable to the main “z” competition of RFBR that are effective during the year of the application (the CNRS_z competition types).
Reports on projects under the NTsNI_z competition must be submitted in accordance with rules for submitting reports under the “z” competition of RFBR.
