The FORESTT program

 

The "Forest Resilience" Priority Research Program and Equipment (PEPR FORESTT) is an ambitious interdisciplinary research initiative focused on the socio-ecological transition of forest systems in temperate and tropical regions. This program is part of the France 2030 investment plan. With a budget of €40 million over 7 years (2024–2030), it engages the entire French scientific community around four key challenges aimed at advancing knowledge and addressing:

  • the societal issues of forests' socio-ecological transition,
  • the development of a circular and agile bioeconomy based on wood,
  • the adaptation and resilience of forest ecosystems to mitigate the negative impacts of global changes,
  • the use of intelligent monitoring systems to foster scientific discoveries and guide forest management and policy decisions.

The mobility call for projects

 

As part of the coordination and governance project of the PEPR FORESTT,
we are launching a call for international or overseas mobility projects, both incoming and outgoing,

with the aim of:

 

Facilitating the integration

of French researchers into the international scientific community

Promoting the dissemination

of our knowledge, tools, and models

Acquering skills
 

on both scientific and technical sides

Encouraging the internationalization

 of research addressing the scientific challenges of the FORESTT program

This mobility call will support projects that address one or more of these objectives, in connection with at least one of the four scientific challenges of the PEPR FORESTT.

The budget allocated to this call for projects is €126,000. Project budgets must range from €2,500 to €9,500, for mobilities lasting between 1 and 4 months.

 

This call for applications will open once a year, in February. The Executive Committee (COMEX) of the PEPR FORESTT will select the winning projects each year between mid and late May, for missions to take place between October of the same year (2025 to 2029) and September of the following year (2026 to 2030). Applications submitted this year will thus concern mobility projects taking place between early October 2025 and late Septembre 2026.

 

The winners will receive financial support covering their travel and living expenses (operating costs associated with the mission are not eligible).

 

At the end of their mobility, the winners will produce a brief report. Additionally, incoming mobility scientists will be invited to contribute to events organized by PEPR FORESTT.
