France Plans National Research Consortium

The bodies involved are international development and agronomy agency CIRAD; national agronomy institute INRA; as well as the four campuses of Montpellier SupAgro, Toulouse national veterinary school, AgroCampus Ouest and AgroParisTech.

Describing the future consortium as a "public scientific cooperation establishment" {EPCS), the ministers repeated their commitment to better communication and co-ordination of research programmes.

"To have a coherent research programme, it is vital to break down the walls between the different actors and improve the co-ordination of our research system," Pecresse explained.
