Documents et Registration

The Ambassadeur program

The French Ministry of the Armed Forces awards 2 postdoctoral fellowships every year as part of its "Ambassador" program.

The aim of the program is to finance a 12-month stay abroad for a postdoctorate engaged in a research project on security and defence issues. The call is open to all fields of human and social sciences (geography, economics, political science, law, etc...).

The programme is scientifically monitored by the Institut de Recherche Stratégique de l'École Militaire (IRSEM).

This funding is part of the Higher Education Pact plan and aims to contribute to regenerating the pool of university research in the fields of defence and security.

Any French or EU PhD holder, who has successfully defended his or her thesis (with or without co-supervision, French or abroad), during the five years preceding the application, can apply.
