ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Institut Pasteur wishes to reinforce the scientific exchanges and collaborations between researchers from the Institut Pasteur International Network (RIIP) and those on the Parisian campus. To do so, we are launching a call to select five researchers from the RIIP wishing to formalize a scientific collaboration with a research unit in Paris.
Successful RIIP candidates will have membership in the IP-Paris host laboratory. She/He will benefit from an access badge to the Pasteur-Paris campus, have an email account <@pasteur.fr>, and will officially appear in the organizational chart of the Parisian Unit. Furthermore, the host laboratory in Paris will receive funding to cover the accommodation and travel costs of the successful researcher from the RIIP (two travels per year).
