International Research Laboratories
In addition to supporting research projects between collaborating scholars at UChicago and the CNRS, IRC Discovery also helps support larger-scale, structured collaborations between research teams at the two institutions, such as the following International Research Laboratories.
IRL HumanitiesPlus
The UChicago-CNRS HumanitiesPlus International Research Laboratory (IRL HumanitiesPlus), created in January 2024, aims at establishing a hub of collaborative interactions and opportunities on the campus of the University between the scientific community in France (the CNRS and French universities) and the UChicago humanities and social sciences divisions. It aims to promote transnational interdisciplinary research in philosophy, literature, linguistics, philology and the arts – with an opening towards the social sciences.
The Humanities IRL engages already established collaborations and programs such as the ARTFL project, the joint PhD grant program, or the existing International Research Network “Postcolonial Print Cultures,” in addition to facilitating new connections and collaborative projects.
