ELIGIBILITY

2.2 Projects

• projects that fall within the themes of the 9 Major Research and Innovation Domains (DIM) approved by the Regional Council in February 2022 (deliberation CR 2022-0055, list of DIMs in Appendix II).

The main objective of the SESAME scheme is to make the Île-de-France region a global benchmark in science and technology by giving laboratories the necessary resources to develop new projects and implement original experimental research facilities.

This call for projects is consistent with other regional scientific equipment funding tools, such as the State-Region Plan Contract, the regionalised PIA (SESAME Filières France 2030), Genopole, Major Research and Innovation Areas and the ERDF programme.
