The Alliance programme, established in 1989, is jointly managed by the British Council and the Ministère des Affaires Etrangères in France (MAE). It is funded on the French side by the MAE, the Ministry of Research, and the national research bodies and on the British side by the British Council. Its aim is to promote the development of Franco-British scientific co-operation between universities and public sector research institutes by providing support for new scientific collaborations between two (or more) research teams working on a common project. Grants are made for one year, renewable for a second year.
