Funding research units (cont.)
◦  Public money
•  Europe
◦  The Seventh Framework Programme - 2007-2013 (FP7)
◦  Erasmus
•  France
◦  ANR, Ministries
◦  FUI, Oseo (innovation)
•  Other countries

•  Region, Urban community/city:
◦  various programs
•  Organisation redistribution
◦  eg. CNRS, internal call for projects at university level, Labex…
◦  Private money
•  Enterprises: sponsoring or direct contracts
•  Foundations
ANR:
Agence Nationale de la Recherche
•  Contractual funding, all disciplines
•  Collaborative projects
◦  several teams / labs
◦  enterprises (R&D: products or real research)
•  Several calls each year
◦  “blank” call: bottom-up approach
◦  focused calls: top-down approach
•  Selection rate: 8%
•  Other countries
◦  USA: NSF, DARPA, etc.
◦  Germany: German Research Foundation (DFG)
◦  …
Example: ANR Information and Communication
Sciences and Technologies Department (2012)
•  Digital Models
◦  This programme is dedicated to research in modelling, simulation and optimisation leading to the
creation of virtual digital worlds, in the context of huge masses of data from varied origins, localised
or disseminated.
•  European programme on Long-term Challenges in Information and
Communication Sciences and Technologies
◦  The ANR is the coordinator of CHIST-ERA, an ERA-NET initiative in the field of ICT which groups
13 national research funding agencies in Europe. In 2011, a first call for proposals was launched
aiming at supporting innovative, multidisciplinary collaborative projects, with a strong scientific and
technical impact.
•  Digital Engineering and Security
◦  This programme aims at promoting new paradigms, technologies, methods and tools to design
digital hardware and software systems, where security and safety are major concerns.
•  Hardware and Software Infrastructures for the Digital Society
◦  The INFRA programme covers all the research work aiming to produce hardware and software
infrastructures that make available ubiquitous communication, storage and computation resources
•  Content and Interactions
◦  The programme brings together two domains between which there are many similarities: the whole
value chain of digital content capture, creation, production, editing, processing, interpretation,
interaction, and economic uses, covers all types of media: audio-visual, film, animation, games,
web, press, data on the web, personal content, etc. ; the part of robotics that relates to issues of
perception and cognition by robots (terrestrial robots, humanoids, flying robots, etc.) situated within
the general framework of interactions between artificial systems and the physical world.
Example: ANR Information and Communication
Sciences and Technologies Department
Answering a call for proposal
•  Choosing appropriate call
•  Building the right
consortium (teams /
enterprises)
◦  of the right size
•  depends on the funding of
the program
◦  with the adequate leader
•  credibility
•  Defining the objectives of
the project
◦  Related works / projects
◦  Difficulties
•  Defining tasks/subtasks
and a planning
◦  Leader, descriptions of the
work, risks, deliverables,
etc.
•  Defining a budget
◦  Total cost / grant cost
•  Writing it before the
deadline!
Evaluation of research units
•  Research units have a 4-year contract
◦  with Ministry, CNRS, etc.
•  Evaluation is related to renewal for another 4 years
•  Important step
Evaluating research and teaching
•  AERES
◦  Evaluation of establishments, research units (labs, teams),
degrees, doctoral schools, etc.
◦  Report + visiting committee
•  Notation
◦  A+ à excellent, stay as you are
◦  A à very good or good, why not reach A+?
◦  B à average, you need to reach A next time
◦  C à quite bad, you need to disappear and/or reorganize
differently
•  Difficulty as evaluation leads to sanctions
23
Evaluating researchers
•  Done by a national council
◦  discipline by discipline
•  Each 4 years, record of activity
•  New
◦  The objective of that evaluation remains unclear
•  Rants
◦  researchers are evaluated all the time
•  papers
•  grants
◦  why add another layer?

  • 19. Example: ANR Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies Department (2012) •  Digital Models ◦  This programme is dedicated to research in modelling, simulation and optimisation leading to the creation of virtual digital worlds, in the context of huge masses of data from varied origins, localised or disseminated. •  European programme on Long-term Challenges in Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies ◦  The ANR is the coordinator of CHIST-ERA, an ERA-NET initiative in the field of ICT which groups 13 national research funding agencies in Europe. In 2011, a first call for proposals was launched aiming at supporting innovative, multidisciplinary collaborative projects, with a strong scientific and technical impact. •  Digital Engineering and Security ◦  This programme aims at promoting new paradigms, technologies, methods and tools to design digital hardware and software systems, where security and safety are major concerns. •  Hardware and Software Infrastructures for the Digital Society ◦  The INFRA programme covers all the research work aiming to produce hardware and software infrastructures that make available ubiquitous communication, storage and computation resources •  Content and Interactions ◦  The programme brings together two domains between which there are many similarities: the whole value chain of digital content capture, creation, production, editing, processing, interpretation, interaction, and economic uses, covers all types of media: audio-visual, film, animation, games, web, press, data on the web, personal content, etc. ; the part of robotics that relates to issues of perception and cognition by robots (terrestrial robots, humanoids, flying robots, etc.) situated within the general framework of interactions between artificial systems and the physical world.
  • 20. Example: ANR Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies Department
