Summary

The Jules Verne program is a bilateral research cooperation fund between Iceland and France, managed by the Icelandic Centre for Research (Rannís). It provides grants covering travel and subsistence costs for scientists making mutual visits between the two countries. The program aims to develop high-quality scientific and technological cooperation between research organizations in both nations. Grants range from ISK 650,000 to ISK 800,000 (approximately EUR 4,000–5,000) over a two-year project period. The program is open to scientists in all fields of basic and applied research, with a requirement that early-career researchers (PhD students or recent doctorate holders) actively participate. Special emphasis is placed on projects preparing joint Horizon Europe proposals and research related to the International Polar Year 2032–2033. Both Icelandic and French partners must submit separate applications in their respective countries — only proposals submitted in both nations are eligible. The program runs on biannual calls, with the current deadline set for September 19, 2025. The grants cover only mobility costs; participants must secure separate funding for their actual project activities.
