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. Distinctive features The first feature of the SFRI, notes the report, is the crucial role of the state, which funded at least 37% of research and development expenditure in 2010, and nearer 50% including the research tax credit, or CIR. This compares with about 30% for countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Another distinctive feature, said the OECD, was the small part played by universities in public research, which was mostly carried out by public research organisations such as the vast multidisciplinary National Centre for Scientific Research, or CNRS, and specialised organisations such as the atomic energy commission or CEA, the space agency CNES, INRIA for information technology and so on. These largely steered and funded research themselves, following broad objectives defined in consultation with the state. enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/pid24578/investissements-d-avenir.html
