PHC Toubkal is the annual Franco-Moroccan Partenariat Hubert Curien bilateral mobility program that funds researcher and doctoral student exchanges between Moroccan and French institutions. It is implemented on the Moroccan side by CNRST and financed by MESRSI (Morocco's Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation), and on the French side by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEAE) and the Ministry of Higher Education (MESR). The program's explicit objectives are to support co-tutorship PhD theses, establish new France–Morocco research collaborations, and advance projects with demonstrable impact on sustainable development and technology transfer. PHC Toubkal runs annually, and the 2027 edition covered all scientific disciplines.
For the 2027 edition, the Moroccan-side electronic submission deadline was 17 February 2026, with signed paper copies required at CNRST by 26 February 2026 — both deadlines have passed. French-side applications for the same 2027 edition were submitted through Campus France (campusfrance.org/fr/toubkal). Award amounts and full grant conditions for the Moroccan side are published in the official call PDF (Aap_Phc_Toubkal_2027.pdf) on the CNRST website; specific stipend levels and mobility allowance rates were not extracted at research intake. Eligibility requires affiliation with a Moroccan public or state-recognised higher-education or research institution.
The next edition — PHC Toubkal 2028 — is expected to open for submission in early 2027, following the program's established annual cycle. Moroccan applicants should monitor toubkal@cnrst.ma and the CNRST appels à projets page for the 2028 call. Proposals that support doctoral co-supervision arrangements and include measurable technology transfer outcomes have historically aligned with the stated program priorities.
Bilateral Franco-Moroccan researcher and doctoral student mobility supporting co-tutorship theses, new France-Morocco research collaborations, and projects with sustainable development and technology transfer impact across all disciplines.
