A French Embassy UK-British Council France joined-up initiative
Building on the success of the Seed meetings organised by the French Embassy in London, and of the joint research Hubert Curien Alliance Programme, the British Council in France and the French Embassy in the UK have jointly decided to launch a new programme in order to amplify existing scientific collaborations between French and British labs. The Springboard Programme for a Sustainable Future is an upscaling and upskilling programme for French and British researchers working together in the field of climate change.
While the Seed meetings are targeted to bring together researchers at the start of their collaborations, the Springboard Programme will aim at strengthening existing collaborations between the UK and France and to facilitate mobility between groups of researchers with a view to lead to joint grant applications (especially with Horizon Europe), joint publications, patent filing and technology transfer.
