Inria's Contract of Objectives, Resources and Performance (COMP) was signed on Wednesday 9 April by Philippe Baptiste, Minister for Higher Education and Research, Clara Chappaz, Minister for Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Economy, and Bruno Sportisse, Chairman and CEO of Inria.
The COMP 2024-2028 extends the trajectory set by the COP 2019-2023 and incorporates the recommendations of the Hcéres report published in March 2024. It reaffirms that Inria's main mission is to strengthen the nation's digital sovereignty through research and innovation. In this context, Inria's strategy is based on two structuring axes: the construction of the Digital Programmes Agency, serving national ambitions and collective dynamics, and the reinforcement of the national research institute in digital sciences and technologies, at the highest international level, faithful to its historical motto ‘Scientific excellence and transfer’.
The success of this strategy depends on differentiated deployment in local digital ecosystems, in particular through the Inria University Centres, which are involved in ambitious partnerships with major research universities.
The Inria COMP is divided into five main sections:
- The Institute's strategic vision to 2028
- Building the Digital Programmes Agency
- Strengthening the foundation of the national research institute in digital sciences and technologies
- Inria's commitment to the territorial dynamics of higher education, research and innovation, with the University's Inria Centres
- An organisation consistent with the institution's missions and strategy.
Verbatim
Inria's strategic trajectory since 2018 has thus been confirmed: by returning to our historic vocation, which led to our creation in 1967 by General de Gaulle, in the words of our COMP, ‘Inria's main mission is to contribute to the nation's digital sovereignty through research and innovation’. In other words, through world-class research in all areas of digital technology, and through our commitment to the dynamics of innovation, through the creation of technological start-ups, our industrial partnerships and the mobility of skills. This is reflected in our historic motto, Scientific Excellence and Transfer.
