How to apply in the next cycle
The deadline for the next round of applications is midnight on 29 March.
The Small Grant guidelines provide information about how to apply, including the scope of the program and the criteria used in reviewing applications.
If you’ve read the guidelines but still have questions, we’ll be holding an informal half-hour Q&A session on 11 March 2021, 11:00–11:30 (Paris time, local time). AMICAL administration will be on hand to answer questions, listen to your feedback and provide advice. If we end up with lots of participants (or questions), we’re happy to extend the session a bit longer.
