LE STUDIUM finances several research awards to welcome experienced international researchers in the region for a one-year residency in a high level host laboratory of the region Centre-Val de Loire of France. In parallel, LE STUDIUM leads scientific animation, which allows cross-disciplinary exchanges and the creation of long lasting relationships between international research teams.

LE STUDIUM Fellowships pay for researchers’ salary (12-month contract), scientific animation and accommodation. LE STUDIUM also deals with all logistics and administrative aspects (visa, residence permit, registration to social agencies, medical coverage, school for children, diverse activities…) to welcome international researchers and their family into the local community.
