France’s research and innovation programme to 2020 is taking the right general approach but is too complex, and universities should play a greater role alongside the powerful national research organisations. These are among the findings of a review of French innovation policies by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Following publication at the end of June of the 294-page OECD report, Examens de l’OCDE des politiques d’innovation: France, French ministers have set up a national commission to evaluate innovation policies. The OECD reviews the French research and innovation system, or SFRI, which was structured during the 1950s to 1970s and dominated by the state’s central management role and the large national research organisations, analyses its current effectiveness and examines the 10-year Programme d’investissements d’avenir – Investments for the Future programme – or PIA, launched in 2010. The report includes chapters on quality of education at all levels for innovation; public research and its scientific performance, cost, institutions, reforms and the role of universities; transfers between public research and private enterprises; policies to support research and innovation; innovation and entrepreneurship; and governance and evaluation of research and innovation policies at national, regional and European levels. oecd.org/fr/sti/inno/innovation-france-ocde.pdf
