Subsidized research or contractual research ?

When a research project mobilizes the Foundation’s teams in conjunction with the industrial partner, and after it has met the steering committee’s selection criteria (in terms of scientific excellence, an interdisciplinary nature, and scientific risk-taking), the Foundation prepares a provisional budget for the project.

 

Two options for financing :

• Tax-exempt subsidized research, under the auspices of the discretion granted to the foundations that are acknowledged to be in the public interest, or else

• Contractual research that can be included in the Research Tax Credit (CIR) assessment.  This type of research contract specifies, among other things, the sharing of intellectual property. .

Optimized management :

• As the trustees of the Foundation’s laboratories, the five founding members have agreed to offer a single point of contact for all legal issues and issues relating to the benefits arising from research projects. 


• Tax-related matters are optimized and the handling of intellectual property is simplified through the signing of contracts directly between the industrial partner and the national laboratories, with no additional intermediaries. 

• Progress reports are submitted through access to the Foundation’s extranet project platform, and are also presented at the milestone and results meetings.  This system provides security for the acquisition of proofs of concept.
