The FNRS, in partnership with « The National Natural Science Foundation of China - NSFC », is pleased to announce the results of the call launched in March 2023 under the PINT-BILAT-M instrument (bilateral research mobility projects).
Congratulations to the promoters of the selected projects, and in particular to:
- Ludovic Troian-Gautier, Research Associate FNRS, UCLouvain
- Lucas Willems, Research Director FNRS, ULiège
- Shady Attia, PDR-FNRS Principal Investigator, Professor, ULiège
- Myriam Cnop, PDR-FNRS Principal Investigator, EOS-FNRS Principal Investigator, Lecturer/Clinical Head/Clinical Professor, ULB
29 applications were submitted for scientific evaluation by the FNRS and the NSFC (China), and the agencies jointly selected 11 projects for funding, details of which are given in the table below.
Each team funded by the FNRS will receive a maximum of €15,000 over a two-year period to finance travel, scientific workshops/conferences and, possibly, operating costs. The projects will be carried out in collaboration with Chinese teams, which will be funded by the NSFC (China).
