2026 Call for interdisciplinary research projects - deadline March 1, 2026

The Labex ImmuNE is launching its main call for funding collaborative research programs. The objective is to promote new interdisciplinary partnerships at Nantes Université aiming at addressing questions or issues with relevance to the fields of immunology and immunotherapies.
 
Programs must involve at least one Labex ImmuNE core team and one other partner team belonging to Nantes Université, not part of the core ImmuNE units, and specialized in a discipline different from immunology. The project coordinator may belong to a team that is not an ImmuNE core team. The co-supervision between the 2 partners of a PhD student funded by the Labex is mandatory.
Although collaborations outside Nantes Université with regional, national or international academic or private partners are possible, these partners will not be funded.
 
Proposals will be reviewed and short-listed by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Labex ImmuNE for oral presentation during the ImmuNE Days (June 11-12, 2026) and final ranking.
 
The Labex ImmuNE will support up to 3 projects with €260k each for a period of 3 years.
