Launched on June 2, 2017 by French president Macron, the "Make Our Planet Great Again" initiative received 11,000 messages from students, researchers, teachers, entrepreneurs and NGO directors. The applications come from about 100 countries, and mostly from the US (61%). They are mainly oriented towards the energy, ecosystems, atmosphere and oceanography industries.
In addition to the program designed for researchers in long stays -supervised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI in French) and implemented by the French Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Agency for Research (ANR)- that already allowed to select about 18 researchers, 4 new programs with the label "Make Our Planet Great Again" were launched in March 2017. They are supervised by Campus France and financed by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE), and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).
