Opportunity description

Campus France invites applications for the MOPGA 2027 visiting research fellowship in France, for early-career international researchers working on climate change or environmental topics. The fellowship lasts 12 months and begins in September 2027; applications close on December 15, 2026.

About the MOPGA Research Fellowship

The program supports successful applicants in carrying out a research project in France. Its stated purpose is to strengthen scientific contributions to climate change issues raised by the Conferences of the Parties (COP) and to foster collaboration with French research institutions. Research projects must focus on climate change or environmental topics, as described in the call.

Fellowships are awarded for 12 months, starting in September 2027. The program is funded by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Space, and is implemented by Campus France. The announcement directs applicants to the MOPGA 2027 call for applications for further information about application procedures and research topics; it does not provide those details in the notice itself.
