R&D in France 1 - General statistics and budgets 2 - Structures 3 – New efforts towards innovation and industrial R&D
FRANCE … … AND ITS 22 REGIONS (AND OVERSEAS TERRITORIES)
France-Taiwan :general comparison (2004) *PPP : Purchasing Power Parity
Private research • 1.18% GDP • 13.3 auto financing, 6 other private, 3.4 public ( billions euros) • Concentration in large companies • 3% companies (120)>2000 employees = 50% researchers, 58%budget, 75% public funding.
Private research Repartition by sectors (2001)
Ministry of higher education and research • Proposes and leads, together with other ministries involved, governmental policy for research and technology. • Prepares a new law for research. • Prepares the civil budget for research and technology (BCRD).
Public research players Depend of Ministry of Research ( or/and other ministries) • 16 Public institutions of industrial and commercial value (EPICs) CEA, CNES, BRGM, CIRAD… • 9 Public institutions of scientific and technological value (EPSTs) CNRS, INSERM, INRA, INRIA... • 85 Universities • 200 Grandes Ecoles, Engineering schools • ANR (funding agency)
French specificities • EPIC Vs EPST : • Government funding for all budget of EPST • EPIC must find extra budget to finance research and salaries • Universities Vs Grandes écoles: • No selection of students for university (students go to the nearest university after bac) • Preparation and selection for Grandes Ecoles
Private Research • Public funding under Ministry of Industry • For SME : an agency OSEO in charge of creation, innovation (OSEO-ANVAR) and transmission
Mixing the research institutions • Mixed labs (1000) • between public institutions (institutes, universities) • between public and private • between other countries institutions • Federation of research institutes • Public Interest Groups, scientific interest groups
The European Framework programs • Objectives: • Better use of European research efforts • Creation of an internal market for science and technology « European Research Area » • FP6 : 2000-2006 : 17,9 billion Euros • FP7 : 2007-2013 : 72,7 billion Euros

3– New efforts towards innovation and industrial R&D 3-1 The law of innovation and research 3-2 The new French scheme for research (2005)
The Law on innovation and research (1999) • Mobility of researchers towards industry and start-up companies • Cooperation between public sector research institutions and companies • A fiscal framework for innovative companies • A legal framework for innovative companies
Start up of technology based companies • The Innovation and Research Act (1999) • 480 scientists received an agreement for taking part in a start up since 1999 • National contest “starting up technology based innovative companies” • 9 505 applications in six years, 1 377 projects awarded, 692 companies started • Public research incubators • 30 incubators granted with 26 M€ for 2000-2003, 20 M€ for 2004-07 • Seed capital funds • 23 M€ invested in 11 seed funds (5 technology oriented, 6 regionally based) through universities and research institutes – 136 M€ under management
3 – New efforts towards innovation and industrial R&D 3-1 The law of innovation and research 3-2 The new french scheme for research (2005)
The new French Scheme for research (2005) • More strategy • More human resources in laboratories • More emphasis on contracts, projects, incentive funds, evaluation and results • More support to innovation and industrial R&D
More strategy (1): • The High Council For Science and technology • created in 2006 • 20 high level scientists • Directly attached to the President of Republic
More strategy (2): • Establishment of main priorities : • Life sciences : cancer, elderly people, handicaps, new diseases • ITC • Energy Transports • Management of resources (Agriculture and food security, water resources) • Space, micro and nanotechnologies
More human resources: • Efforts towards PhD students (observatory for employment, scholarships, co financing with industry) • More attractiveness for jobs (beginning, of career, better cursus in public research, more recruitments)
More emphasis on projects, evaluation: • National Agency for Research (2005) • Agency for Evaluation (to be created in 2006)
ANR : NATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH • A new agency created in 2005 to channel incitements funds to research laboratories. • 540 millions euros allocated in 2005 to 1 400 projects (maximum 3 years) selected trough 35 calls for proposals. • Beneficiaries: 4 500 scientific teams (included 800 companies). www.gip-anr.fr
