The science division is responsible for doctoral policy, incentive mechanisms, Ifremer’s involvement in major national programmes and relationships with research agencies and organisations and with universities and engineering schools. Working with the European and international affairs department, it is also responsible for international scientific partnerships. The scientific and technical information service – La Pérouse library is also attached to the science division.
-
The Expert public policy support division is responsible, under the direction of the Director General, for overseeing various scientific monitoring and expert assessment activities. These activities, whether one-time or recurring, are carried out in collaboration with central government agencies or decentralized state services, as well as with water agencies, the French Biodiversity Office, the European Commission, and local and regional governments.
-
The innovation partnership and transfer division is responsible for all Ifremer’s relations with the business world. These relations can take a variety of forms: research contracts, hosting young companies, support for start-ups and the development of businesses collaborating with Ifremer. It also provides early-stage brainstorming and incubation for ocean-based solutions.
