Fondation Tuck supports international cooperation in energy training and research, with a strong emphasis on applied work tied to the energy transition and IFP School/IFPEN’s expertise. Its giving is unusually education-centered for an energy funder: it combines competitive research grants, doctoral support, scholarships, and pedagogical innovation funding, especially for projects with practical relevance to mobility, fuels, hydrogen, renewables, and sustainable energy systems. The foundation appears to favor academic and technical partners in Europe and internationally, and it typically funds through targeted calls or internal selection rather than open unsolicited applications.
Targeted, call-based and invite-only funding with competitive selection; grants are generally modest to mid-sized (often up to about €50,000 for research projects, plus recurring scholarships and doctoral support), and funding is often tied to specific programs, cohorts, or institutional partnerships rather than open applications.

Watch for program-specific calls and partner-led selection processes; several programs explicitly do not accept unsolicited proposals. Applicants should align closely with the announced topic scope, demonstrate strong technical or academic credentials, and, for scholarship/doctoral funds, apply through IFP School or the relevant internal committee process rather than directly to the foundation.
