PHC Toubkal — Franco-Moroccan Hubert Curien Partnership (Partenariat Hubert Curien franco-marocain)
Funds Franco-Moroccan researcher mobility for doctoral and researcher exchange partnerships.
PHC Toubkal sits under CNRST and the French partners MEAE and MESR as a bilateral mobility channel between Morocco and France. It supports researcher exchanges and doctoral co-tutorships, with a clear emphasis on building new research links, sustainable development work, and technology transfer. The program runs annually and accepts joint applications through Campus France on the French side, with a copy sent to CNRST. The 2027 call set an electronic deadline of 17 February 2026 and a signed paper deadline of 26 February 2026. Eligibility is limited to universities and research organizations, with consortia required and French-language documentation expected. For applicants, the strongest fit is a project that already has a cross-border academic team and a thesis or research exchange plan that can be executed in both countries. The call is most credible when the Moroccan host, the French partner, and the mobility plan are aligned from the start, because the program is built around bilateral collaboration rather than one-sided support.
