Associate Research Directors: DEA Programme
International mobility programme for professors and senior researchers in France
Program statement
Created in 1975 through the initiative of Fernand Braudel, Directorate of Higher Education and Research, the Associate Directors of Studies (DEA) program is the oldest international mobility program of the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme.
It will make it possible to invite foreign scientists from all continents for a period of four to six weeks in order to support their work in the field of social sciences and humanities in France, as well as the creation of international research networks and contacts with local researchers.
Mobilities to all research centers in France are eligible.
This programme supports up to 60 projects per year; its selection rate is approximately 30%.
For this year, the programme will support 40 projects. The selection committee is especially attentive to applications from countries where funding for SHS is reduced and to researchers for whom a stay in France represents an important opportunity to establish scientific collaborations.
Financial details
A monthly allowance of €3 400 is awarded for transport and living expenses. In addition, FMSH provides support for visa applications and logistics (accommodation and access to libraries).
Duration of the fellowship: From 1 month up to 6 weeks.
Stays starting date: From April until November 15th 2025 the latest. From July 15th until August 31st (university vacations), stays are not possible.
Eligibility criteria
- The program is intended exclusively for holders of university professorships or equivalent positions in higher education and research institutions.
- Candidates must be under 65 years of age at the time of their stay.
