Types of related projects
The objective of this program is to develop scientific and technological transfer of excellence by promoting New collaborations. Participation of Young researchers and doctoral students is mandatory. Possibility to apply for a European Framework Program for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe It is an important factor in project evaluation.
All research areasincluding Humanities and Social Sciences, is concerned. Carriers are however invited to put forward what is possible Links with strategic partner themes: energy and environment.
Team Eligibility Requirements
The call for applications is open to researchers in research laboratories connected to higher education institutions, research institutions, companies or cultural institutions engaged in research, as long as they are connected to a partner academic.
Priority will be given to new collaborations. In addition, applications for projects that have already received Ulysses funding should highlight one or more new partners based in Ireland and/or new areas of research.
Participation of young researchers (Doctoral students, postdoctoral students or researchers before obtaining their thesis 5 years ago) is mandatory In two candidate teams
only Jointly submitted application files Researchers from the Irish Group at the Irish Research Council https://research.ie/funding/ulysses/ is acceptable. French researchers are invited to examine this with their partners.
Project criteria
Scientific standard Project and teams (required description of state of the art and methodology).

Interest in cooperation and complementarity French and foreign teams.
Possibilities to shape or promote the project. Network projects with a particularly European opening will be considered as priorities. Researchers have the possibility to submit an application within the framework of another PHC on the same research topic.
Special consideration will be given to gender equality in all successful applications.
Project Selection Committee
Eligible projects are subject to separate scientific evaluation by each of the two parties. Authorities from both countries meet alternately in Ireland and France to compare assessments and jointly decide on support for selected projects. Public and private partners are involved in the strategic selection of the projects they support.
For the French side, MESR's European and International Affairs (DAEI) representatives provide scientific expertise to the files.
Methods of operation
The duration of the projects is 24 months.
There must be financing from the French side Compulsory consumption on annual basis.
The first financing should be used in the meantime January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. The second can be spent in between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026.

The Renewal Credits for the second year are subject to:
- Optimal utilization of allocated funds for the first year;
- Submission of A Progress report Citing scientific results obtained (1 page in free format), Mobility implemented or planned before the end of the current year;
- Written by A Balance sheet Actions implemented or planned before the end of the calendar year.
A progress report and financial statement should be sent No later than November 15 of the first year To the University and Scientific Attaché of the French Embassy in Ireland (see Contact program).
Eligible expenses
Resources granted by France cover living allowances and travel for researchers from French institutions.
As an indication, the maximum funding granted is €5,000 on the French side (€2,500/year) and €5,000 on the Irish side.

Project monitoring
A report Scientific and economic A final decision is required within three months after the completion of the projects.
To be used by managers of French teams Downloadable report template Attach it to their online file during this period.
This report should also be sent to the French Embassy in Ireland within the same timeframe (contact for programme).
Publications written as part of this project should mention the support provided by the Ministries for Europe, Foreign Affairs (MEAE), Higher Education Research (MESR) and, where applicable, the partners RTE-France, EirGrid, Ademe and SEAI.
Example: “This work was partially supported by the “PHC ULYSSES” program (project number: XXXXXXX), funded by the French and European Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and the Irish Research Council. and RTE-France, EirGrid, Ademe and SEAI“.
An optional annual visit to the French Embassy in Ireland (to the extent that no additional costs are incurred) is desirable as it helps to briefly present the work of the team and thus increase visibility.
