Mauritius Research and Innovation Council

Overview

“Les Assises de la Recherche et de L’Innovation 2022” (ARI 2022) was a platform that initiated a national dialogue and provided the conducive framework for policy revamping while concurrently providing insights on emerging and frontier innovations. The aim of ARI 2022 was to set the foundations for the development of a National Masterplan / Roadmap for Research and Innovation.

Following this national consultative exercise, a total of 372 projects was identified, spread across numerous actions and spanned through the 6 Thematic Areas, RodInov and the Strategic Plan of the Council. These projects are detailed in the National Roadmap for Research and Innovation. Hence, the first Call for Proposals (CFP-IBG1) aimed at addressing prioritised short-term projects under the National Roadmap for Research and Innovation through the Innovation Boost Grant.
