MAScIR Foundation Research

Supports applied research in Morocco through MAScIR Foundation routes across nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials, and clean energy via grant funding.

MAScIR Foundation Research sits under the Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science, Innovation and Research, a public foundation in Morocco focused on applied research. The programme is the foundation's research-facing route for work in nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials, and renewable energy, and it runs on an annual cycle. Awards run from MAD 300,000 to MAD 10 million. Applicants must be registered and operating in Morocco, individuals are excluded, and projects need more than one organisation involved. The funding is structured as a grant, which keeps the route squarely in the non-dilutive part of Morocco's research-support system. The best fit is a team that can turn applied research into a multi-organisation project with a clear technology path. MAScIR's broader mandate is built around work that can move beyond the lab, so proposals read best when they show a practical use case, a domestic delivery base, and enough technical substance to justify a larger award band.
