Founded in 1988, the Rhône-Alpes Futur charitable foundation promotes and funds the scientific and economic development of the Rhône-Alpes region.
It also organizes the "Carrefours" (Crossroads) symposium, which gives research labs the opportunity to showcase their projects to a panel of businesspeople, scientists, company incubators and venture capitalists.
As part of the 16th Crossroads event (to take place on December 15th), the Foundation has launched a call for research proposals, with a submission deadline of November 14th.
