UPDATED August 2016

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 Work Programme comprises four interlinked components each with a specific budget and governance:

  • Major societal challenges[7]
  • At the frontiers of research[8]
  • Building the European Research Area (ERA) and France's international attractiveness[9]
  • Economic impact of research and competitiveness[10]

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

  • ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency) can launch calls that can be relevant for Marine sciences (climate change, micro-algal biomass for biofuels, …) [11].
  • LITEAU (National Programme Coastal Management) managed by Ministry for Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development, Territory Planning (MEEDDAT) [12]
Since 1998, the LITEAU Programme aims at improving sea and coastal areas management by supporting science-based projects at the interface between land and sea, dealing with social-ecological systems through multidisciplinary approach and stakeholders’ participation (e.g. pollutions, marine protected areas, coastal ecological engineering).[13]
  • The LEFE Programme (The planetary Fluid Envelopes and the Environment) is managed by INSU and is dedicated to support research on the understanding of the physical, physic-chemical and biogeochemical processes that control the dynamics and the variability of the ocean, the atmosphere and their interfaces. It is composed of 5 main actions: atmospheric chemistry; biogeochemical cycles, environment and resources; operational oceanography; interactions between atmosphere, ice and ocean; numerical methods.[14][15]
  • The EC2CO Programme (Continental and Coastal Ecosphere) is coordinated by INSU. It supports interdisciplinary research on major environmental issues on the continental and coastal ecosphere through 4 actions: biogeochemistry, hydrology and ecosystem functioning; ecotoxicology and pollutants dynamics; environmental microbiology; dynamics of littoral interfaces.[16][17]

Strategic documents

In November 2012, upon demand by the secretaries of state of research and environment, the Alliance for the Environment (AllEnvi, a group of French research agencies) published an inventory and challenges of research and innovation in marine sciences under the title The Marine Programme. The Marine Program presents an inventory of French research on marine and coastal environments, their means of study and the technological developments they sustain, and identifies key issues in terms of knowledge and public policy.

  • The Marine Program: Inventory and challenges of research and innovation in marine sciences[18]
  • A working group on marine biotechnology was set up in the context of the cluster Europôle Mer, aiming at elaborating a position paper related to Marine biotechnology in the West part of France (regions Bretagne and Pays de la Loire). This document that include recommendations and priorities for developing the Marine biotech sector shall be available on line in April-May 2015.

Private funding mechanisms

  • BPI France is a public-sector institution dedicated to economic development and a key source of financing and other support for SMEs[19].
