Terms and Conditions

The Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France is delighted to announce its Visiting Scholars’ Seminar Series. In the light of its commitment to fostering collaboration between francophone and UK academics in its fields of interest, the Association offers funding to networks of members to support an annual seminar series of three or more thematically-related events, tenable in any UK or Irish university, or institution of higher education in the UK or Ireland, each of which will include a different francophone academic based in a francophone country alongside a member of the hosting department. The Association will also consider proposals which include professionals and practitioners working in fields relevant to the academic project. The scheme is designed to support the invitation of early- career and established scholars.
There is one deadline per year, 1 May, for activity taking place the following academic session.
Applicants will normally be notified of the outcome of their application within one month of the closing date.
Purpose of grant, criteria for selection and eligible costs.
The key objective of the Visiting Scholars’ Seminar Series grant is to encourage collaboration between UK and francophone academics in the fields of interest of the Association. The emphasis will be on collaboration and on the diffusion of skills and knowledge. Where a seminar series builds on existing collaboration, the applicants in the UK or Ireland should explain what the seminar series will achieve over and above past outcomes.
