Ulysses is funded and administered by the Irish Research Council. In
France, it is funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
administered by the Embassy of France in Ireland and Campus France, the
leading French agency for international mobility.
The aim of the Ulysses scheme is to foster new collaborations between
Irish- and French-based researchers by providing seed funding for
reciprocal travel visits over the course of one year. The scheme thus
facilitates the exchange of innovative ideas and approaches between
Irish- and French-based researchers across all disciplines.
This year, selected research projects will also be supported by the following strategic partners:
- Electricity transmission system operator EirGrid will partner with French-based Réseau de Transport d’Électricité to support suitably aligned research projects in the area of renewable energies and smart grids.
- The Health Research Board will support research projects focusing on patient-oriented and clinical research, population health or health services research.
- The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, will provide support to research projects exploring topics relating to climate change.
What we offer
A Ulysses award will involve researcher(s) based in Ireland
travelling to France and researcher(s) based in France travelling to

Awards will be up to a maximum of €2,500 each to Irish- and

These awards are simultaneously receivable and must be used within the
2012 calendar year.
