We would like to highlight the scientific quality of all the proposals and the structuring efforts that the community undertook to submit 31 projects to the call for proposals, which closed last January, largely based on the 56 pre-proposals presented during the Call for Expressions of Interest.

The management of the PEPR FORESTT followed the recommendations of the ANR and selected the 10 projects ranked A by the international jury. You will find below the list of these 10 laureates :
