Call for Scientific Events 2025/2026
The DIM C-BRAINS aims to boost the attractiveness and visibility of neuroscience and cognitive science in the Paris Region. In this context, C-BRAINS contributes each year to the funding of Scientific Events (SE) focusing on its priority themes. For the 2025/2026 Call for Projects, the events must take place in the Île-de-France region before 31 December 2026 and involve at least two academic teams and/or C-BRAINS partners (associations and/or industry). The SE project may take the form of conferences, symposia, research or training workshops, hackathons or any other innovative form.
The budget allocated by the DIM C-BRAINS will be between €2,000 and €15,000 maximum. However, co-funding is strongly encouraged.
The proposal must be completed online on the DIM C-BRAINS platform before 8 December 2025.
