Liban/Dispositif 3R Liban de soutien à la coopération scientifique avec mobilité doctorale : résultats de la sélection de la 4ème édition
The AUF Middle East has set up the "3R Lebanon: Research. Responses. Resilience", an integrated scheme based on an annual call for projects combining support for a research project with doctoral mobility in an international partnership. The scheme, the first of which was launched in 2021, aims to support projects with a national impact. The call, specific to Lebanon, is open to all disciplinary fields, with priority given to research projects linked to the country's multidimensional crisis (economic, health, social, environmental, crisis and disaster management, etc.).
The project must integrate an international cooperation dynamic (foreign scientific partner and thesis in cotutelle or co-direction with university registration abroad). Projects are supported for 3 years by the AUF and CNRS-Lebanon.
