Lost in the jungle of national, European, and international calls for projects?


In response to the very diverse and highly technical calls for projects launched by European and national funding institutions (European Commission, French National Research Agency, regional councils, Fondation de France, etc.), Université Côte d’Azur created the Maison de l’Europe et des Territoires (MET). Its mission is to provide support to members of the research community and to accompany them in the development of their research and training projects.
