NanoX aims at developing ambitious scientific projects in order to bridge gaps and impulse collaborations between its teams, and above all, support new research axes and collaborations. Each year, we issue several calls to sustain those projects.
Ongoing research projects
Each year all our researchers are invited to apply to our call with a collaborative or disruptive project. Since 2022, thanks to a partnership with Toulouse Tech Transfer, we also fund « prematuration » applied projects.

nanoX fellowships
Purpose: create contacts worldwide and develop a scientific network of partners of excellence.
These fellowships allow our scientists to invite their current or future collaborators from abroad. They are ideal opportunities to attract leading scientists on permanent nanoX chairs and temporary nanoX fellowships. Selected guests are requested to give at least one topical seminar, possibly added with one broad seminar, and few hours of teaching activity.
- 1 to 3 months of temporary positions at the Full Professor/Research Director or Associate Professor/Research Associate level (CNRS salary + travel expenses)
- Up to 12 months of fellowships per year
- 2 selections a year (April & September) by the dedicated committee from the Scientific Council
- Application process is sent by email to the laboratories
permanent scientists
