Strengthening Inria’s European ambitions. When it comes to EU programmes for supporting research, Inria stands out by its good perfor- xxxxx for the ERC, but a significant weakening in its position in other calls for projects, with little project coordination. Over the course of the contract term, Inria will have stronger ambi- tions at a European level in line with the “National Plan for Improving French Participation in European Initiatives for Funding Research and Innovation”. This will require the Institute to maintain its efforts with the ERC and make a significant effort for all other EU programmes of interest to Inria (collaborative projects, Digital Europe, EIC). The Institute will put in the necessary resources to achieve this ambition: The priority themes raised at a European level must feed into the Institute’s scientific strategy.
