Some of the FMSH’s programs touch on almost all the social sciences and call for the participation of researchers of various nationalities.
Created to help improve Mobility, the Programme Directeurs d’Etudes Associés (DEA) (Associate Study Directors Program) is open to researchers of all nationalities.
Two other original programs fall under the framework of these initiatives:
- Programme International d'Aide aux bibliothèques de recherche (International Support Program for Research Libraries)
- Pôle de valorisation des IFRE (Unit for French Research Institutes Abroad Enhancement)
