These support a range of networking tools, such as workshops, conferences, training schools, short-term scientific missions (STSMs), communication activities, and virtual networking tools. COST Actions enable researchers from academia, SMEs, public institutions and other relevant organisations to investigate a topic of their choice for four years. No budget forecast is requested when submitting a proposal.

Providing both on-site reception and remote services, EMBRC-France removes barriers of access to marine biological resources and provides a tool for the exploration and exploitation of marine biodiversity, from a molecular level to whole ecosystems. In order to facilitate access to its services and resources, EMBRC-France operates a call for proposals supporting projects which require scientific support. The call aims to encourage discovery and the use of the Centre&#8217;s biological resources (macro or microorganisms collected in situ, cultivated or stored in the aquaria), services and expertise. The programme is open to all users from the national and international scientific academic community, covering all scientific disciplines. The overall RI budget for the 2026 call is expected to be \u20ac100,000, which, based on previous editions, will enable the funding of 5-10 projects.
