The French-American Fund for
University Partnerships has been replaced by the Partner University
Fund (PUF).
>> PARTNER UNIVERSITY
FUND
The Partner University Fund (PUF) was created in May 2007
to promote innovative partnerships in research and higher
education between French and American institutions of higher
learning and research.
Governed by a steering committee, the PUF Fund is managed
by an Executive Director also serving as Cultural Attaché
for Higher Education within the Embassy of France in Washington,
D.C. Thanks to private and public funding, PUF has a budget
of 1.4 million USD allocated for its first call for projects.
PUF supports emerging transatlantic partnerships with a
potential to be sustained after the phasing out of the grant.
Partnerships may combine elements such as: joint initiatives
in research and publications, faculty and postdoctoral mobility,
collaboration in teaching, shared programs, joint and dual
degrees at the master’s and Ph.D level.
Projects need to be jointly submitted by at least one American
and one French university. They can be funded over a three
year period, subject to annual review by the selection committee.
Interested parties are invited to the PUF
section.
Project applications must be submitted by December
15th, 2007.
