Before applying to the Inria Quadrant Programme, it is important to take into account the positioning of the Inria Quadrant Programme, the characteristics expected of projects and to read the programme rules.
The PIQ Site Coordinators are the first point of contact for project leaders wishing to apply. These PIQ Site Coordinators play a dual role:
- informing scientists about the programme;
- acting as the first point of contact in the programme application process.
To apply for the programme, contact your PIQ Site Coordinator and send them the completed application form. The list of PIQ Site Coordinators is available here or from PIQ Management.
