The CNRS Foundation

La Fondation CNRS contribue directement ou indirectement au développement et à la promotion du CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), dans tous les domaines correspondant à ses missions, ainsi que de la recherche scientifique et technologie, en France et à l’international.
To this end, the CNRS Foundation has adopted an action plan to promote ambitious and free research:
The Foundation is developing its activities around corporate, individual and major donor sponsorship in order to :
- Build a scientific awards policy for researchers
- Enhance the technological capacities of laboratories
- Develop the attractiveness of new talents and help them flourish, by financing significant installation grants.
- Fund theses on fundamental, exploratory and risky subjects
- Financing high-stakes research projects.
The CNRS Foundation is a sheltering foundation. It thus offers the possibility of creating sheltered foundations or foundations under aegis. The CNRS Foundation carries the legal status for 1 OCEAN’s founders, and relieves them of administrative and management burdens, enabling them to devote themselves solely to supporting the causes they have chosen.
"The multidisciplinary nature of CNRS research offers a broad panorama, ranging from climate change to educational inequalities. The CNRS Foundation, through its various levers of action - corporate sponsorship, funded projects or foundations under aegis - facilitates support for these numerous research projects."
