About the France-Berkeley Fund

Established in 1993 by the University of California (UC) at Berkeley and the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Development, this programme promotes scholarly exchange and research cooperation between the UC and research centers and higher education public institutions in France.

In the framework of the 2025-2027 program, are considered projects jointly submitted by a tenured or tenure-track professor at UC Berckeley or at UC Davis, and/or the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a professor or researcher with a permanent affiliation with a French public research institution or institution of higher education.

Applications are accepted in all fields:

STEM,
arts & humanities,
social sciences,
law,
business,
education,
medicine / public health

Priority is given to proposals that demonstrate a balanced exchange and demonstrate complementary expertise between teams; projects involving early-career researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates; projects designed to generate new research approaches and strategies; and projects likely to foster long-term connections.

The Fund aims to encourage and support original research of the highest quality and new collaborations, and especially seeks to support projects involving younger scholars.

Projects will be funded to a maximum of US $ 15,000.

Eligibility

The France-Berkeley Fund is open to all faculty members and researchers who hold a permanent appointment and principal investigator status at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and/or the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Proposals must be submitted jointly with a colleague who holds a permanent appointment at a French university or research institution, including professional schools, technical universities, research centers and laboratories (CNRS, INRIA, etc.), and Grandes Écoles.

Deadline for application: January 31, 2025.
