Print Share
The aim of the "Idex chairs" is to attract very high-level candidates (ERC type for example), with a view to creating a research group and acquiring new skills in emerging fields or significantly strengthening established fields within Université Grenoble Alpes.
Funding includes the salary of the chairholder and a significant support budget. This funding is allocated on the basis of the level of the candidate and his/her research project.

This funding makes it possible to fund operational costs as well as doctoral or post-doctoral students.
