Overarching science strategies, plans and policies

There are no specific Marine Biotechnology strategies, plans or policies in France at the national level. Overarching French Science & Technology Policy is described in the National Programmation Law for Research and in the National Research Strategy (SNRI)

  • National Programmation Law for Research[1]
  • National Research Strategy (SNRI)[2]

In 2009, the "National strategy for the sea and the oceans" Blue Book laid out France’s maritime policy. The Blue Book reaffirmed France's ambition to know in depth, protect and manage its vast maritime area; a source of economic and ecological wealth.

  • Blue book - National strategy for the sea and the oceans[3]

The marine research component of the overarching Science & Technology Policy is further elaborated in the strategoci policy document of the French marine science organisation Ifremer:

  • Exploring the sea to understand the earth: contribution to a national research strategy for marine sciences for 2020[4]

Research funding schemes and programmes

In France, there is no specific call for marine and biotechnological research (apart from the SEAS-ERA call launched in March 2012). However, marine projects can be funded under non-thematic calls for competitive research proposals launched by the French Research Council (ANR) which operates thematic and blue skies programmes [5]. About 10% of the ANR annual budget is dedicated to marine research.

  • The programming document Orientations for the ANR Programmation Cycle describes each year the main priorities that are going to be addressed through dedicated calls in line with the National Strategy for Research and Innovation (SNRI)[6].
  • The French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) can launch calls that can be relevant for Marine sciences (climate change, micro-algal biomass for biofuels, …) [7].

Other National Research Funding Programmes which may be relevant for marine biotechnology research include:

  • PNEC (the National Programme for Coastal Ecology Research) managed by Ifremer[8]
  • LITEAU (National Programme Coastal Management) managed by Ministry for Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development, Territory Planning (MEEDDAT) [9]
  • LEFE (Les Enveloppes Fluides et Environnement) managed by INSU [10]
  • EC2CO (Continental and Coastal Ecosphere) managed by CNRS[11]

Private funding mechanisms

  • OSEO is a public-sector institution dedicated to economic development and a key source of financing and other support for SMEs[12].

Research priorities for marine biotechnology research

n/a

Infrastructures and coordination and support capacities / initiatives

  • In 2012, France operates 14 local/coastal vessels from 10m to 30m; 1 regional vessel of 36m (Antea); 1 oceanic of 56,34m (Le Suroit); and 6 global vessels from 65m to 120,5m registered at the European Research Vessels Infobase [13].
  • In 2012, France maintains about 11 large marine research equipments registered in the European large Exchangeable instruments database [13].
  • Key aquaculture experimental and research facilities in France include
  • Ifremer Station experimentale d’Aquaculture[14]
  • Ifremer Laboratoire ARN[15]
  • Regional Clusters
  • CapBiotek - Regional Cluster in Biotechnologies in Brittany [16]
  • Atlanpole Blue Cluster - Regional Cluster in Biotechnologies in Pays de la Loire[17]
  • Biogenouest - the life science core facility network in Western France which comprises a Marine component[18]
  • Pole Mer Bretagne - Global economic competitiveness cluster in Brittany[19]
  • Pole Mer PACA - Global economic competitiveness cluster in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur[20]
  • Europole Mer “Blue Network” - an informal coordination structure with about 20 members with one of the focal areas (Axe 1) on marine genomics and blue chemistry (related to biotech)[21]

Major initiatives

  • R&D and Infrastructures projects funded in the frame of “Investissements d’avenir” ANR
  • IDEALG – Consortium of 18 different partners from the academic sector (CNRS, IFREMER, UEB, UBO, UBS, ENSCR, University ofNantes, INRA, AgroCampus), the industrial sector (C-WEED, Bezhin Rosko, Aleor, France Haliotis, DuPont) as well as a technical centre specialized in seaweeds (CEVA) in order to foster biotechnology applications within the seaweed field. Budget of € 10 Millions for 10 years[22]
  • OCEANOMICS – Project providing scientific prolongation of the Tara-Oceans expedition with a budget of €8 Millions for ten years coordinated by Station Biologique de Roscoff [23]Contact: Colomban de Vargas (vargas@sb-roscoff.fr)
  • GREENSTARS - Contact : Jean-Philippe Steyer
  • EMBRC-Fr - French component of the European European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC), an ESFRI Roadmap Research Infrastructure with a budget of €16 Millions over 10 years[24] Contact : Ian Probert (probert@sb-roscoff.fr) & Anne-Emmanuelle Kervella (akervella@sb-roscoff.fr)
  • LABEX Mer – Laboratory of Excellence in marine research Ocean in Change [25]
  • ALLENVI Groupe Mer – Association of Marine Research Organisations Programme Mer (almost ready for diffusion)[26]
  • FRB Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité – Foundation for Biodiversity research[27]
