France 2030’s call for expressions of interest in research programmes in the humanities & social sciences (AMI-SHS), launched by the General Secretariat for Investment together with the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and operated by the French National Research Agency (ANR), aims to develop research programmes to structure the Humanities and Social Sciences in France and to respond to the major challenges facing society.

The list of the six research consortia selected has just been made public by the French Government. Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University, the recipient of several awards, is a member of three of the six consortia: “DémoCIS: the evolution of democracies”, “ReligiS: religions” and “FORESEE: the consequences of climate change”, which will each receive 9 million euros.

This unprecedented and exceptional success for Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University reflects the dynamism of the institution’s research laboratories and researchers. The application, led by Isabelle Delpla, Vice-President for Research, required months of work and cooperation with universities, grandes écoles and research organisations.

Gilles Bonnet, President of Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University, is delighted with this success:
The superb success of this call for projects shows that our strategy, led by Isabelle Delpla, was the right one, and that mobilising our researchers was particularly relevant in these three major subjects. Our ambition was to support the emergence of new cross-disciplinary collaborations with institutions throughout France. The recognition of Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University as a leading national research player is excellent news and a great encouragement for the future.</
