Région Bretagne’s Bienvenüe+ project selected at the last call for projects MSCA COFUND 2024!

Brittany is attractive for high-level international researchers. These excellent profiles contribute to the research dynamism of the territory. This will be amplified with the upcoming Bienvenüe+ programme, coordinated by Région Bretagne, which is selected in the last European calls for projects MSCA COFUND, within the research and innovation framework Horizon Europe.
Bienvenüe+ aims to recruits 75 international high-level postdoctoral researchers for 24 month-projects, working on key sectors defined by the regional research and innovation strategy, such as maritime economy for blue growth, health and wel-being, food economy and the eating well for all.
Bienvenüe+ is following the COFUND Bienvenüe programme, which has led to recruitment of 81 fellows in Breton laboratories in three calls (2021-2023). Partner institutions are growing to 20* (against 8 since 2020), covering all public research labs in Brittany.
A first call for projects, to fund 25 projects, will be launched next fall.
