The support system is primarily aimed at an audience of language specialists – linguists and, in particular, terminology specialists –, and organizations whose work focuses on the French vocabulary and whose purpose is to encourage the use and dissemination of French.

Under this grant, the Ministry of Culture gives priority to:

• actions and tools to promote and disseminate lexicography, neology and terminology in French
• work to harmonize and disseminate terminology in French throughout the Francophonie
• development and dissemination of monolingual or multilingual specialist vocabularies
• the creation of methodological tools for the identification of neologisms and new realities and for the monitoring of new terms and the measurement of their implementation
• the international dimension and the contribution to the influence of French
• and academic work on related aspects of the evolution of contemporary French, such as spelling and feminization

Capital or equipment expenditure is not eligible.

The amount of the grant, usually between EUR 1,000 and EUR 5,000, is determined according to the nature and quality of the project and the expenditure required to carry it out.

For more than €5,000, consult DGLFLF in advance. The grant has an incentive character and must have a leverage effect to enable it to raise other support.

The grants granted by the DGLFLF are awarded on an annual basis, in a single instalment, upon presentation of a detailed and costed project, specifying in particular:

• a) For events and symposia: the timetable and provisional budget, programme and dissemination forecasts;
• b) For publications: the anticipated publication date, estimated budget, target audience, planned draw and promotional activities.

Particular attention will be paid to:

• The participation of French speakers and the reception of a French-speaking audience, the dissemination in French of information relating to the project or the event, in particular the programme and the acts in the case of international events, in France and abroad.
• Free and open access, in particular online, to the proceedings of the demonstrations and the deliverables and the results of the projects supported.
• The creation or development of cooperation networks.

The grants awarded by DGLFLF are awarded on an annual basis.

The project balance sheet must be submitted by 31 March of the year following the payment of the grant.
