ties with the social and economic spheres
The continued issuing of national calls for bids from the
National Research Agency (ANR) and the Directorate-
General for Enterprise (DGE), and European calls for
bids for the 7 th FPRD in areas covered by the Institute
enabled IFSTTAR to achieve total contractual orders of
€17.6M in 2011, which represents an increase of 2.2%
over 2010.
The sources of this contractual income are shown in the
diagram. 73% of the notified contracts were from the public
sector and 27% of the Institute’s contractual activity directly
involved a partnership with the social and economic spheres
(industry or a local or regional authority).

SUSTAINED CONTRACTUAL ACTIVITIES WITH
THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
In 2011, IFSTTAR reported income of more than €6.6M that
directly involved an industrial partner or a local or regional
authority. These activities with or for the social and economic
spheres relate involve partnership-based research, expert
appraisals, tests and certifi cation. In 2011, almost half of
this direct income was from the design and management of
“structures”, including engineering structures and civil engineering
in general. The area of transport covers the organization
and optimization of transport systems and the road and
rail sectors: this accounted for a third of IFSTTAR’s revenue
in 2011.
