In May 2024, as part of the IdEx, Université Paris Cité and its privileged partner King’s College London launched their third call for research projects, fostering the “universities in a European capital” theme.
King’s College, London & UPCité
Since the partnership was launched in 2019, three Université Paris Cité – King’s College London calls for projects have been put in place. These calls aimed to promote and strengthen scientific collaboration between teams from King’s College London and Université Paris Cité around both disciplinary and interdisciplinary challenges focusing on politics and culture between the cities of Paris and London.
The submitted projects strive to contribute to the development of science, knowledge sharing and educational innovation in a collaborative mode.
Results 2024
The overall financial envelope for this call of 2024 included €75,000 from Université Paris Cité and €75,000 from King’s College London. Projects will be funded for a 10-month period from September 2024 to June 2025.
The selection criteria included the potential for developing scientific exchanges beyond the current call.
“The large number of applications received testifies to our colleagues’ interest in this partnership, and gives it a new dynamic that both establishments are delighted to support”, says Antoine Kouchner, Vice-President Strategic International Relations at Université Paris Cité.
“We are pleased to foster new and developing research collaborations between our two institutions, and are delighted by the strong response from our academic community to this call”, states Professor Funmi Olonisakin, Vice President, International, Engagement & Service at King’s College, London
A total of 25 applications were submitted jointly by UPCité and Kings College London across disciplines (including 5 in health, 4 in humanities and 16 in science). The joint evaluation committee selected 7 projects.
