Thanks to the E. de Rothschild and Y. Mayent foundations, the Institut Curie is able each year to award grants enabling scientists of international renown to stay at one of the Paris or Orsay Research Center laboratories. The sabbaticals by these foreign professors are of at between four and nine months, during which they must present at least four conferences on a topic of their choice and visit the Orsay laboratories to meet the site’s researchers.

Since 2005, the Institute Curie has been providing 3-year grants, plus 1 more year if necessary, for foreign students who wish to work for their doctorate in the laboratories of the Research Center. Applicants are selected by their professors or course directors or both on the basis of their grades and record in their home country. They must be presented by a team leader authorized to supervise research and are enrolled in a French graduate school during their thesis work.
