The CNRS-Imperial "Abraham de Moivre" International Lab in Mathematics Short-Term Exchange Grants (STEG) open new opportunities for Imperial academics to make short-term stays in French labs or host short-term visitors from a French lab. The scientific span of these grants, like that of the "Abraham de Moivre" Lab, concerns all domains of mathematics and of their interactions with other fields, such as physics, computer science, biology, economics, social sciences.

Value: The STEG grants have a maximum value of £2,000 per project.

Management: To ensure a quick feedback to applicants, the STEG grant scheme is directly managed by the Chair and Deputy Chair of the "Abraham de Moivre" Lab, who will solicit experts opinions if needed.

Application process: The scheme is managed on a running basis, so there are no specific deadlines, but support for activities should be sought at least 3 weeks in advance of expenditure. Please use the dedicated STEG Application Form and submit it to the UMI Staff inbox via e-mail.
