The FIRST-TF 2022 Call for Projects is now open. The deadline for submitting applications is February 15, 2022.
This call for projects aims to support teams from the FIRST-TF network on ambitious projects (research projects, projects in partnership with companies, training projects or dissemination of knowledge to the public) and to strengthen collaborations between its members, on themes focused on Time and Frequency metrology, its interfaces and its applications.
This year, the support provided by FIRST-TF may focus on:
• staff (financing of young researcher fixed-term contracts, engineering or technician fixed-term contracts, doctoral mission, no theses funded this year);
• Research / Service / Training equipment (material, components, instrumentation, etc.) including co-financing of medium-heavy equipment;
• operation (missions, invitations to researchers, organization of workshops or conferences, etc.).
