Call for projects: a tool for public action - "RFAP" - deadline (proposal) 30 09 2024

Online 09 07 2024

(Calenda announcement 1171145)

The omnipresence of calls for projects (CFPs) is in stark contrast to the small number of scientific studies on this public policy instrument. French political scientists and sociologists have paid less attention to the rise of calls for projects in public action, the reasons for using this instrument, the work involved in drawing up and responding to calls for projects, and the methods used to select the winners. The same is true of questions relating to the nature of calls for projects and their parameters, which have received little attention from legal experts and specialists in administrative and management sciences. These are all blind spots in research that the current issue of RFAP aims to fill.
