Internal funding schemes

1. Teaching discharges: for research project leaders, Inalco offers teaching discharges, enabling teacher-researchers to devote more time to their research projects. This measure aims to encourage commitment to ambitious projects and free up time for meaningful academic work.

2. Translation assistance for project applications: theDirection de la recherche, de la valorisation et des Etudes doctorales( DIRVED) recognizes the importance of international and interdisciplinary participation in the research landscape. To facilitate this participation, we offer a specific translation assistance scheme. This funding aims to enable teacher-researchers to prepare responses to calls for projects in languages other than French.

3. Assistance from the Scientific Council: within the framework of an annual call for applications, Inalco's Scientific Council supports Inalco's teacher-researchers through the funding of scientific events, field missions and participation.
