The Laboratories for Trans-border Cooperation (LTCs) are a formula for collaboration that have been developed since 2015 in the frame of the Campus Euskampus-Bordeaux. LTCs were created to provide an institutional framework for research teams from the Basque country and from Bordeaux working together. This framework supports trans-border research communities, which involve young and senior researchers, students, and technicians that can move from one lab to the other without boundaries and share a common vision and action agendas.
The LTC program is an opportunity for those research groups from the Basque Country and Bordeaux with a previous track record of collaboration and a shared future research agenda. An LTC comes as a significant step in the recognition of an already existing partnership, and is led by two Principal Investigators (PI) from the University of Bordeaux and the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, respectively.
Amongst the benefits we can find funding for a maximum of 10K€ per year to cover everyday operating costs of the LTC (travels, stipends for students, organizational costs for workshops, summer schools, etc.).
Research groups interested in submitting their LTC proposal can find all the information here.
Deadline for submission of proposals : April 4, 2025
