Like every year, the Île-de-France regional council has issued calls for projects and applications to award its doctoral (ARDoC and DIM) and post-doctoral grants (Dim).
Doctoral Research Grants in Targeted Areas (ARDoC) are entirely funded by the Île-de-France Region for doctoral research projects carried out in the Region’s doctoral schools.
The Region’s grant recipients will receive a flat monthly net stipend of about 1,450 euros. This salary is contained in the payment of a total amount of 2,700 euros by the Region to the host institution responsible for hiring the young researcher for a 36-month fixed-term contract.
Seven areas are targeted in the framework of this call for proposals:
Sciences and techniques:
- Mathematics
