In May 2025, as part of the Initiative d’Excellence (IdEx) program, Université Paris Cité and its strategic partner King’s College London launched their fourth call for joint research projects. The selected projects demonstrated strong potential to foster enduring collaborations with impact extending beyond this call.
About the Call for Projects
Since the partnership was established in 2019, four joint calls for research projects between Université Paris Cité and King’s College London have been launched. These calls aim to promote and strengthen scientific collaboration between teams at both institutions, addressing disciplinary and interdisciplinary topics. The submitted projects aim to advance scientific knowledge, foster knowledge exchange, and support educational innovation through collaborative approaches.
Results 2025 : 5 projects selected
A total of 18 applications were submitted by joint teams from Université Paris Cité and King’s College London ; 8 projects in Health, 4 projects in the Humanities and 6 projects in Science (including 1 project from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris). Following evaluation by the joint selection committee, 5 projects were selected for funding. The selection criteria included the potential to further develop scientific collaborations beyond the call.
One project in Humanities :
- « PharmaGHaSTS Research Network: Critical Social Science of Pharmaceuticals at the Intersection of Global Health and Science, Technology, and Society », led by Koichi KAMEDA (UPCité) and Anne POLLOCK (King’s).
One project in Health :
- « Cerebral bases of Memory consolidation during Infant NeuroDevelopment (C-MIND) », led by Jessica DUBOIS (UPCité) and Tomoki Arichi (King’s).
Three projects in Sciences :
- « Shaping Mucosal Defences: Notch Signalling and ILC2 Tissue Imprinting », led by Rachel GOLUB (UPCité from l’Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) and Joana F. NEVES (King’s).
- « How do intracellular parasites interfere with interferon signalling? », led by Jonathan WEITZMAN (UPCité) and Charlotte ODENDALL (King’s).
- « Formal structures to represent proofs and programs: applications to parsing, interpolation and graph algorithms », led by Alexis SAURIN (UPCité) and Maribel FERNANDEZ (King’s).
The total budget for this 2025 call for proposals amounts to €75,000 from Université Paris Cité and £50,000 from King’s College London. Projects will be funded for a period of 18 months, from October 2025 to March 2027.
