Promoting the development of high-level research
The IUF aims to promote the development of high-level research in universities and to strengthen interdisciplinarity by encouraging institutions and faculty members to strive for excellence in research, with the positive consequences this is expected to have on teaching, the training of young researchers, and, more generally, the dissemination of knowledge. It also contributes to increasing the representation of women in the research sector and to a balanced distribution of university research in France, particularly by promoting a policy of scientific networking across the country.
Faculty members appointed to the Institut universitaire de France are placed in a delegated position. They continue to carry out their work at their home institution and are relieved of two-thirds of their teaching duties.
