  4. French RDI system • About 30 Research Bodies, under various status: • EPST: CNRS, INRA, INSERM, IRD, INRIA, CEMAGREF, INRETS, LCPC, INED • EPIC: CNES, CEA, IRSN, ONERA, CIRAD, IFREMER, OSEO, CSTB, ADEME, BRGM, ANDRA, IPEV, LNE, INERIS, … • Foundations, … • Research and Higher Education bodies: • 85 university • High School Engineers schools and Business schools • Private Research: Companies, Foundations ...

  5. French RDI systemOfficial government documents • Budget process: • Constitutional Bylaw (LOLF) of 1 August 2001 on budget acts, operated since 2006 • Research: • Law of 18 April 2006 • Legislative part of the Research pact of 2005 • Higher education: • Law of 10 August 2007 • Freedom and responsibilities of universities (LRU)

  6. French RDI systemInstitutional structures of research • High Council of Science and Technology (HCST), installed in September 2006 • National Agency for Research (ANR), created in 2005 to fund fundamental research on a project basis • Agency for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (AERES), installed in march 2007

  7. French RDI systemPartnership policy • Higher Education clusters (PRES): selected after a call for proposals, since 2006 • Thematic Advanced Research Networks (RTRA): selected after a call for proposals • Thematic Centers for Research and Healthcare (CTRS / RTRS): selected after a call for proposals • Competitiveness Clusters: cooperation with private sector

  8. French RDI systemThe three functions model Orientation and national priority setting macro-objectives and financial framework for each big domain  MESR + others ministries + HCST(High Council for Science and Technology) Programming & Financing translation of general priorities into operational scientific and technical objectives, skills development, big infrastructures priorities setting, partnership, and finally resources distribution to actors ANR (National Agency of Research) and others Evaluation  AERES Research Operation knowledge and technologies production, diffusion, technologies transfer Universities, Institutes, Companies

  10. RDI funding and expenses Public R&D is mainly funded (95%) by public funds Private R&D is mainly funded (85%) by private funds

  16. Table of contents • French RDI system • RDI funding and expenses • Evaluation of publiclyfunded RDI • Budget process • Conclusion

  17. Evaluation of Publicly Funded RDI The three levels of assessment: • Public policies impacts  Under study • Budgetary and Financial  Guardianship of the body (ministry) • Scientific AERES

  18. Evaluation of Publicly Funded RDIAERES AERES : French evaluation agency for research and higher education • Created by the 18 of April 2006 law • Installed in March 2007 • Agency council composed of • 8 qualified personalities • 14 designed members • 2 deputies

  19. Evaluation of Publicly Funded RDIAERES • An independent agency: • Not under any pressure actions • Sealing between evaluation and decision • A legitimate agency: • Publications of professional features of the members of its board and its pool of experts • A transparent agency : • Processes and reports evaluation on the Web • Direct expertise : visiting committees

  20. Evaluation of Publicly Funded RDIAERES Three sections: • Section 1: Evaluation of the research and higher education bodies and validation of the evaluation process for people • Section 2: Evaluation of the research teams • Section 3: Evaluation of training and diplomas of higher education

  21. Evaluation of Publicly Funded RDIAERES • A single structure for the various evaluation field • An evaluation process connected to the contractual process • Criteria and methods conform to international standards

  22. Table of contents • French RDI system • RDI funding and expenses • Evaluation of publiclyfunded RDI • Budget process • Conclusion

  23. Budget process • Since 2006, the French State budget is structured in Missions, Programs and Actions, to be presented to parliament • MIRES = Inter-ministerial Mission for Research and Higher Education • 12 programs driven by 6 ministries • Each operator of a program receive funding for each action on

  24. Budget processPerformance information • By mission, for each program: • PAP, annual performance plan, with objectives and performance indicators outline • RAP, annual performance report with objectives and performance indicators execution

  25. Budget processTimetable Budget N-1 Vote du PLR gouvernement Analyse de l’exécution : préparation des RAP • Loi de règlement : • Projet de loi de règlement (PLR) • RAP • Certification des comptes parlement Budget N Exécution du budget par les administrations Budget N+1 • Travaux préalables : • Réunions de budgétisation • Rencontres DB / DGRI / opérateurs • Réunions DGRI / opérateurs • Conférence de performance Arbitrages politiques : Lettres plafonds € et RH Finalisation du budget : PAP Lettre de cadrage aux ministres • Débat budgétaire : • Projet de loi de finances (PLF) • Jaunes budgétaires Débat d’orientation budgétaire (DOB) Vote du PLF

  28. Budget process Indicatorsexample

  29. Budget process Performance information • Not yet direct relationship between global funding and performance indicators • But, indirect relationship via • Evaluation (by AERES) before State contracting with Operator • Control from the board of directors by guardianship

  30. Budget ProcessPerformance information • Today, French budgeting is Performance informed: performance information is used to inform budget decisions along with other information but there is no automatic or mechanical linkage between targets of performance results and funding • Tomorrow, it may move towards Direct/formula performance budgeting: allocation of resources directly based on results achieved, through formula/contract with specific performance or activity indicators[1]

  31. Table of contents • French RDI system • RDI funding and expenses • Evaluation of publiclyfunded RDI • Budget process • Conclusion

  32. Conclusion • News processes to be optimized and orchestrated • State budget process • Operators and teams evaluation and contraction • Projects funding processes • Information system (IS) to be established

  33. The MIRES IS ProjectObjectives • Make consistent information systems of public research to consolidate information • Provide the ministry and, more generally, to all those involved in the MIRES, an information system that meets their needs steering
