The Grands Fonds Marins Priority Research Programme and Equipment, led by CNRS, Ifremer and IRD, was launched on 1 September 2024. This new PEPR, financed by France 2030 and operated by the ANR, will develop and finance fundamental research actions to acquire the knowledge needed to establish sustainable uses and protection of the deep seabed.
The PEPR GFM aims to stimulate the creation of new multi, inter and transdisciplinary research consortia, combining life and earth sciences with human and social sciences for the study of the deep ocean. The first call for projects, which will be published in spring 2026, will be the result of this initial co-construction phase based on this questionnaire to be completed by for the 8 December.
A webinar presenting the GFM PEPR will be held on 26 November 2024 à 9h. This webinar is open to all, registration required via the online form.
