International Collaborations (France)
NSF research directorates have a productive history of collaborating with French counterparts to support research through bilateral activities and multilateral arrangements. As research becomes increasingly global in nature, NSF and the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) understand that it is important for funding agencies to continue to identify and develop flexible mechanisms to foster and support collaborative international research. Through the following links you will find information on specific collaborations between NSF research directorates and ANR:
- Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO)
- Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)
- Directorate for Engineering (ENG)
- Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)
