Call for Projects 2024: Discover the 12 Selected Projects
The SPIN Research Program launched its first Call for Projects this year, providing support to Main and Transversal Projects. A total of 12 projects were selected, including 9 scope collaborative projects and 3 “young scientist” projects.
The Spintronics Research Program, funded with 38 million euros over eight years, organizes two calls for projects aimed at supporting Main and Transversal Projects. This year marked the first call, which offered two modes of support. The first is for scope collaborative projects, with funding ranging from €800K to €1M. The second is for “Young Scientist” projects, with support ranging from €300K to €400K. Below is the list of projects selected as part of this first call.
