The Soleil Synchrotron in Saclay where the Equipex nano-images X. 1_IFSTTAR IN ITS SETTING focus on… 10 Future investments Programme (PiA) The reasons for a success Its 17 selected projects (1) give IFSTTAR a strong presence in the Future Investments Programme. The Institute is involved in 5 laboratories of excellence (Labex), 4 facilities of excellence (Equipex), two technology research institutes, 4 institutes of excellence on zero carbon energy (IEED), 2 technology transfer acceleration companies (SATT) and 1 initiative of excellence (IDEX). This success was the result of strong motivation on the part of the Institute’s teams in response to the PIA calls for projects, at a time the Institute was undergoing major internal changes. IFSTTAR’s strong regional presence was a key factor in this success, as it facilitated the preparation of proposals with close links to the regional dynamics created by Research / Academic Clusters (PRES) and Competitiveness Clusters. All IFSTTAR’s sites are involved in PIA projects, as 7 of the projects involving IFSTTAR are in Île-de-France (the Greater Paris Region, 5 are in Rhône-Alpes, 2 are in Provence - Alpes - Côtes-d’Azur, 2 in the West and 1 in Nord-Pas-de-Calais. The research issues that are tackled by the winning projects involve many fields and varied disciplines. In a way, the scope of the PIA projects cover the range of the Institute’s activities comprehensively: transportation, the environment, natural hazards, sustainable constructions, planning and urban issues... which are approached from a variety of angles that bring into play mathematics, physics, medicine, economics and the life sciences. Clearly, IFSTTAR has comprehensively adopted the PIA procedure and the implementation of the 17 winning projects should have a powerful knock-on effect on all the Institute’s activities in the coming years.

a portrait of the institute A ten-year scientific strategy The review of the Institute’s scientific approach must prepare the Institute to consolidate its positions with regard to its areas of excellence, foresee developments and take up a position on new challenges. The new issues include the need for sustainable development and responses to climate change and population ageing, which are areas where we must develop research approaches that are more systemic and multidisciplinary and that give complexity a central place. The scientific strategy review which got under way in early 2011 and the mutual understanding seminars identified IFSTTAR’s strengths and added value, not only in terms of themes, approaches and methods, but also in the interplay between disciplines and the consideration of human factors. In addition to these seminars, a large number of discussions were undertaken with the laboratories in order to specify the principal research issues for the next ten years. These were then discussed with the Institute’s governance bodies (the Board of Directors, Scientific and Technical Board) and our external partners. Following these discussions, IFSTTAR’s scientific strategy was finalized, around the following four tasks: Task 1: Analysis and innovation for sustainable and responsible mobility. Task 2: Constructing, deconstructing, preserving and modifying infrastructure efficiently and sustainably. Task 3: Climate change, natural hazards and environmental and health impacts in man-made environments. Task 4: Designing and planning sustainable cities and regions: systemic and multi-scale approaches. By their very nature, these tasks cut across disciplinary boundaries and illustrate how IFSTTAR’s research addresses societal issues. The tasks may also evolve over time. While IFSTTAR’s first goals and performance contract imposes these tasks for the medium and long terms, those that follow it will enable the Institute to update its scientific strategy as societal and scientific concerns change. Last, in order to develop its research activities and adapt them to the issues, needs and priorities that have been identified above, in 2011 IFSTTAR conducted an in-depth review of the resources, tools and policies that need to be introduced, consolidated or modified. The changes in question will be introduced as research directions are modified in order to make sure the new scientific strategy is adequately resourced. @ CONTACT dominique.mignot@ifsttar.fr A project for the institute: A human adventure In early 2011, the Managing Director of IFSTTAR decided to initiate a process of consideration with a view to developing a project for the Institute, Imagine Ifsttar, along the same lines as a company project. The fundamental aim is to forge a common culture within IFSTTAR, which is essential if it is to perform its role successfully. 11 4 iDEX iNiTiATiVES OF EXCELLENCE A*MIDEX The virtual human PACA 5 SATT TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ACCELERATiON COMPANiES ÎLE-DE-FRANCE INNOV Île-de-France PACA-CORSE PACA 6 iEED iNSTiTUTES OF EXCELLENCE ON ZERO CARBON ENERGY FRANCE ÉNERGIE MARINE Marine energy Pays-de-la-Loire and PACA GÉODÉNERGIES Geothermal, CO 2 sequestration Centre VEDECOM Vehicles and transport services Île-de-France EFFICACITY Sustainable cities Île-de-France The project has three goals: To create a vision that is shared by all the staff of the new organization created by the merger. To undertake the transformations that are necessary for it to perform its role more effectively and integrate better in its scientific, technological and societal environment. To lead its entire staff in a “human adventure” which will give meaning to their professional activities. The first phase of the process involves drafting the project, which is a document setting out IFSTTAR’s ambitions. This took up the whole of 2011 and will continue into 2012. Gradually, by a process involving concentric circles and successive improvement of the project, all the Institute’s staff came to be involved thanks to an approach that encouraged their active participation. The management committee officially launched the process in May 2011. Next, meetings of all the representatives of the Institute’s management were held in June and November 2011. Between these collective meetings, the teams met for working sessions in order to determine the future organization of the Institute in a collegial manner. The second phase of the project will get under way in 2012 when an action plan for achieving the goals of the Imagine IFSTTAR project will be implemented. @ CONTACT sandrine.lefebvre-guillaud@ifsttar.fr ”Focus sur Imagine IFSTTAR”, an internal information letter on the project for the Institute. annual report 2011 ifsttar.fr
