MAINTAIN SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE. Inria is a research institute with a versatile, project team1 (PT) based model that encourages scientific risk-taking, primarily through interdisciplinarity and industrial partnerships, promoting the development of technology that is often central to scientific activity and supporting entrepreneurial initiatives. Its scientific policy should concentrate resources on initiatives with national scope and strategic international partnerships, strengthening the Institute’s position within the European Research and Innovation Space. Its policy for attractiveness and evaluation must be consistent with these priorities. In a wider sense, the way in which the portfolio of Inria project teams is coordinated must reflect Inria’s strategy. Inria’s collective organisational structure must also enhance this versatility, drastically simpli- fying access to resources, especially internal, in order to enable the scientists working within its project teams to devote more time to scientific excellence and transfer efficiency, the goal being to maximise the Institute’s impact. MILESTONE 1 BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE 2020, INRIA WILL DETAIL THE CONTENT OF THE QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS REPORT ON ITS SCIENTIFIC IMPACT THAT IT WILL PRODUCE EACH YEAR.
