Predit must develop its role as a cooperation
and action platform linked to the three
research incentive levels, which are:
The regional level: link with regional
research, supported within the context of
State/Region development agreements,
and elaborated in the field of technologies
for land transport through a network of
regional poles (RT3 network: a chart
signed in 2001 by Nord-Pas-de-Calais,
Alsace-Franche Comté, Haute-Normandie,
Midi-Pyrénées, Poitou-Charentes et Rhône-
Alpes),
The national level: Predit is a vast programme,
but is also one among sixteen
statefunded networks of research and
technological innovation. It revolves more
particularly around networks, telecommunications,
software technologies, fuel cells,
micro-nano technologies, materials and
processes, land and space.
The European level: increasing links with
the 6th framework programme and the
Eureka initiative, promoting the cooperation
between France and Germany in
transport research.
PROGRAMME
ORGANIZATION
PREDIT 3 is headed by Jean-Louis Léonard, deputy in Charente maritime
and
mayor of Châtellaillon-Plage. The
Steering Committee, together with the Chairman and the six promoters of the
programme, decides on the reorientations
to be given, global conditions of development,
assessments to be done.
The Orientation Council debates twice a
year on the general priorities and the programming.
Operational groups are in charge of defining
and implementing actions, including
the follow-up and the development. Under
their respective Chairman’s authority, and
Steering Committee if necessary, the
groups are responsible for the organization
and programming conditions: direct orders
of research, calls for proposals, reception of
spontaneous projects… Through these
various paths, they propose projects to the
financing bodies, then ensure the follow-up
and the development. Their secretariat are
ensured by representatives from the public
financing bodies most involved in their respective
fields.
Funding is provided by the four ministries
and the two agencies.
A permanent secretariat ensures the
management of this device.
