Synergies with civilian R&D before 1997 (DRET)

The Syrecide Initiative (1996-1998, between 4 to 6 million Euros/year)Ph.D Grants (300 doctoral students)Grandes Ecoles Network (Ecole Polytechnique, ENSTA…)

… and other types of informal links that lead to a scientific and technical expertise of armament engineers

1996/1997 Reform

A decrease in R&D budgets, associated with a special focus on cost control (e.g. rigid contracting procedures, which are not well suited for research)

Reorganisation of the R&D organisation within the DGA (end of the DRET for a more centralised scheme)

A transition towards less dual-use initiatives

Since 2001: a second-wind for dual-use initiatives

1. Protocol between the ministry of Defence and the ministry of Research

2. Call for tender: Participation of the DGA to the civilian Innovation and Research networks (RRIT)

3. ANVAR support

4. Reform of acquisitions: Ixarm Website

1. Protocol between the ministry of Defence and the ministry of Research

A protocol was signed in Dec. 2001 between the Ministry of Research and the Ministry of Defence. It aims at reinforcing cooperation and synergies in R&T and covers three issues:

- Concertation on the definition of technology policies;

- Mutual assistance regarding expertise, foresight and evaluation;

- Cooperation on R&T projects

Call for Tender: Participation of the DGA to the RRIT

RRIT stands for « Réseaux de la Recherche et de l’Innovation Technologique » (Research and Technological Innovation Networks).These are thematic networks that were implemented in 2001 by the Ministry of Research along with other ministries (diffusion-oriented policy). There are now 16 networks.In 2002, the DGA implemented a « Call for tender » measure to implement financial participation to these networks.The future of these networks is now uncertain…

Ministère délégué à la Recherche

APPEL D'OFFRES 2004 - réseau Innovation Biotechnologie

Biosécurité

CalendrierLettre d'intention à transmettre au plus tard le mercredi 7 juillet 2004 à 12h00

Objectif Le Ministère de la Défense et le Ministère délégué à la Recherche lancent un appel à projets dont l'objet est la lutte contre le terrorisme biologique qui constitue, aujourd'hui, une menace avérée. Les projets soumis porteront sur la mise en place d'une réponse adaptée aux risques liés à une utilisation criminelle d'agents infectieux ou de toxines.

Champ de l'appel à projetsL'appel à projets concerne la sécurité médicale. Il porte sur les principaux agents du bio-terrorisme (notamment ceux listés dans la catégorie A de la liste publiée par le Center for Diseases Control). La priorité sera donnée à :- L'identification et le diagnostic chez le sujet exposé- L'organisation de systèmes d'alerte (bio-surveillance géographique et statistique) mettant en œuvre les réseaux d'alerte (urgences, vigilances)- Le traitement de l'information et les données épidémiologiques pour l'identification d'agents pathogènes chez l'homme,- La prise en charge thérapeutique préventive et curative

Page 11: A second wind for dual-use initiatives in France Renelle Guichard 6 Countries Programme Linking Defence and Security R&D to Innovation: the challenge ahead.

Sélection des projetsLes projets seront sélectionnés sur les critères suivants :- Les propositions doivent entrer dans le champ de cet appel à projets- Ils doivent être établis en partenariat public/privé entre un ou plusieurs laboratoires de recherche publique et un ou plusieurs industriels- Ils doivent obligatoirement être portés par un industriel- Ils doivent décrire les accords (ou projets d'accords) de partenariat incluant les aspects de propriété industrielle (existence de brevets en priorité ou de licences d'exploitation, partage des droits à l'issue du programme…)

Evaluation des projets- Originalité, caractère innovant au regard de l'état de l'art et de l'environnement international- Fondement scientifique- Caractère opérationnel ou stratégique- Faisabilité technique, réglementaire et industrielle et adéquation des moyens- Qualité et complémentarité des partenaires- Evaluation de la liberté d'exploitation et état de la propriété industrielle

Une pré-sélection des projets sera effectuée sur lettre d'intention à partir des critères définis ci-dessus (date de dépôt de la lettre d'intention : mercredi 7 juillet à 12h)..

Les projets à caractère opérationnel ou stratégique seront privilégiés par rapport à ceux générant des connaissances plus amont. Une dizaine de projets seront retenus à l'issue de cette pré-sélection et autorisés à présenter un dossier complet qui fera l'objet d'une évaluation externe (date de dépôt des dossiers complets : lundi 6 septembre à 12h).

Au final, seront retenus en 2004, 4 à 5 projets.Cet appel à projets sera reconduit en 2005.

FinancementBudget global de l'appel à projets : 3,35 millions d'euros.Les projets retenus par le comité de sélection composé d'experts scientifiques, d'industriels et de représentants des ministères chargés de la Recherche, de la Défense et de l'Industrie seront financés par une subvention.Le montant de l'aide attribuée à une entreprise ne pourra excéder son apport propre.

ANVAR support

ANVAR is the French National Agency to enhance SMEs research activities.

The DGA and ANVAR have signed an agreement protocol in march 2002 (2002-2005) to support SMEs that submit an innovation that has a military or dual-use application.

This protocol also includes a collaboration in terms of monitoring of technological development and a support for participating to EU’s call for tender.

A Common will to unite their efforts to maintain a high defence technology base.

How it works:- Redeemable loans (up to 50 % in case of

success) - In 2002, it concerned only 9 regions: Île de

France, Rhône Alpes, Bretagne, Centre, PACA, Midi Pyrénées, Aquitaine, Lorraine and Franche Comté

- 2,3 million euros in 2002- Local investigators are assigned to ensure the

link between ANVAR and the DGA and represent the DGA at regional commissions

Contracts and opportunities > The Marketplace > Overview The Marketplace

Overview

This part of IXARM web site deals with French Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) tenders. Thus, the Defence Ministry's Marketplace is a set of tools for dematerialising part of the procurement processes the Ministry uses.This Marketplace is common to both "Armaments" (everything within the perimeter of weapons, munitions, war materiel) and "Non-armament" (all the Defence Ministry's other purchases, like …..). This Marketplace includes a notice publication area and four 'rooms' for use by buyers and suppliers/manufacturers.

Announcement publication

Calls for tenders managed in the French Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) follow the government contract code (CMP). As such, they are usually officially published in the form of notices.The portal is not a substitute for official publication organs, but comes in addition to them. The notice published in the portal is in no way official. Whenever official publication is not mandatory under the CMP, the Ministry tries to structure its procedures by publishing unofficial notices.

Dematerialised tendering room (SCDM)

The SCDM is the "Dematerialised tendering room". This is a controlled-security space for managing exchanges between the French Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and suppliers. Buyers can publish Company tender calls (DCE's), and suppliers will eventually be able to respond in accordance with the government contract code (CMP).

Purchase electronic catalogue room (SAC), Inverse auction room (SEI) and Invoicing room (FAC)

To promote rapid exchanges between the French Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and its suppliers, the MINDEF has decided to set up three dematerialised procurement tools in this portal.These are the purchase electronic catalogue room (SAC), an Inverse or Dutch auction room (SEI), and eventually an Invoicing or e-billing room (FAC).

Conclusion

Fragmented initiativesPresent debate on research in France …

where Defence R&D is totally omitted

How to cope these initiatives with the

European agency ?
