MAILING LIST

Call for proposals: 2025-2026 projects and activities

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 20, 2025

The “En avant Math!” project, made possible by a grant from the Ministère des Finances du Québec, aims to promote mathematical sciences and raise the numeracy level of the Quebec population, as well as to enhance interest for mathematical sciences among youth, from preschool to university.

As part of this project, we are launching a new call for activities. These activities will be aimed at several audiences: preschool, primary and secondary school, including parent-child activities, college and university, as well as activities for the general public. They may take place in all regions of Quebec.

The maximum amount awarded per application will not exceed CA$15,000, including indirect research costs where applicable. We look forward to receiving applications for projects of various sizes.

Grants may support existing or new programs or activities. Eligible expenses include salaries, travel, supplies and materials to support these activities. However, funds cannot be used to support research projects.

Projects submitted will be evaluated by a committee.

Those responsible for the selected projects will be required to submit a final report, including an assessment of the activities and their impact, as well as a financial statement, no later than one year after the grant is awarded.
