13 successful applicants for the 2025 Call for Projects – Seed and Structural Funding
The 2025 Call for Projects aims to support the formation of mini-consortia comprising research teams from different and complementary disciplinary fields, with a view to implementing original projects that align with the scientific objectives of the SHAPE-Med@Lyon project. These projects must deliver significant advances in terms of fundamental knowledge, the health and wellbeing of human and animal populations, environmental health, healthcare pathways, public policy and/or innovation.
Now that the SHAPE-Med@Lyon project has been running for three years, we have seen the projects evolve in terms of transdisciplinarity and the integration of different organisational levels and different aspects of health, and we are delighted to support projects that align with this integrative vision.
