Fifth and last call for projects for young researchers - deadline 12.11.2023


The LabEx IGO is launching its 5th and last internal call for Young Investigators who do not hold any permanent position.
As a reminder, a call has been launched every year, from 2020 to 2024, to fund two projects per year.

The aim of this call is to provide small grants (€15K) to young non-statutory investigators of one of the 20 partner teams of the LabEx IGO, to carry out a specific project enabling them to strengthen their CV (for intance before applying to a permanent position).
The proposed projects can be either emergent (i.e. demonstrating the proof of concept for a new idea with a leverage effect for further funding) or about a new aspect of a current project (new hypothesis, needs to use an alternative technology, short mobility in order to acquire new technical skills in another laboratory, etc.). The main objective of the LabEx IGO with this call is to significantly support the early career of the researcher and provide them with targeted support in the development of their research project.

2 projects will be selected for the year 2024 and will benefit from a 15k€ funding each.

You will find below the call for projects as well as the application form. The deadline for returning application files is November 12, 2023. The results will be announced on December 15, 2023.

According to the laureates of previous years, obtaining this funding was a real asset for the progress of their project and their career, so if you are a post-doc within a LabEx IGO team, do not hesitate to apply!
