Discover the 17 recipients of the 2026 International Mobility Call!

The results of the FairCarboN International Mobility Call are now available: 17 recipients will receive funding in 2026.

This scheme aims to promote international exchanges by supporting both incoming and outgoing mobility for scientists, with the objective of sharing data, tools and methods, or strengthening scientific and technical skills related to one of the four thematic axes of the FairCarboN PEPR.

The FairCarboN PEPR research axes:

Axis 1 – Continuum from land to coastal zone to atmosphere

Axis 2 – Coupling of biogeochemical cycles

Axis 3 – Production and use of plant biomass

Axis 4 – Economic and social questions: drivers and impacts of change
