Applications are currently opened for the Courants du monde (individual long format) programme, coordinated by the French Ministry of Culture. During their stays, visiting professionals carry out a concrete cooperation project, focus on the study of a specific topic or collection, or on a project related to the holdings or current activities of the BnF (Résidence Culture). Specific residences (Parcours de collections) within this programme are intended to initiate and develop joint studies on the provenance search of collections preserved in France.

The deadline to apply is 10 September 2025: https://www.bnf.fr/en/programmes-hosting-visiting-international-professionals
