How to apply in the next cycle
The deadline for the next round of applications is midnight 3 November. Information about how to apply, including the scope of the program and the criteria used in reviewing applications, can be found in the Small Grant guidelines.
If you’ve read the guidelines but still have questions, we’ll be holding an informal half-hour Q&A session. AMICAL administration will be on hand to answer questions, listen to your feedback and provide advice for preparing your applications.
The Q&A session will be take place 29 October 10:00-10:30 (Paris time, local time). If we end up with lots of questions, we’re happy to extend the session a bit longer
