Collaborative research, intellectual property and technology transfer





Direction de la Valorisation DV INRA

•Launched in 2001, directly depending on the general board of INRA.

•An original integrated economical model, active since 2003 : dynamic balance between the revenues of royalties collected by two private subsidaries INRA Transfert Inc and Agri Obtentions Inc and the expenses invested by INRA for the protection of the intellectual property, the incentive measurements for the financial return to innovative scientists, collective return to the scientific units, and financing of the services ordered by INRA and achieved by its subsidaries.

•A unique management integrated by DV INRA for the two INRA units DV UCPI and DV DPE and the two subsidaries IT and AO.

•A double network of skills for the negociation of contracts : public partnership in the 21 regional centers, private partnership in the 14 scientific departments.





Direction de la Valorisation DV UCPI

•Missions of the unit DV UCPI : contract law and intellectual property.

A legal staff of 15 skills higly specialized in the field of DV INRA, a critical mass of expertise( back office ) supporting the general activities of collaborative research achieved in the two previous networks ( front office ).

A relevant expertise for the european consortium agreements, framework agreements with the private sector, finalization of complex contracts.

The management of the following strategic portfolio of INRA : invention disclosures, patents, trademarks, databases and softwares.

The management each month of the intellectual property national committee : recommandations and decisions for the filings, the extensions and the abandons.





Direction de la Valorisation DV DPE

•Missions of the unit DV DPE : stimulating and encouraging the partnership with private companies.

8 skills located in the west of France, launched in 2003.

Expertise in the use of ICT dedicated to the internal communication with the scientists and the external dissemination of our results towards our partners.

Economical and industrial survey to stimulate our strategic private partnerships.

A national mission for the coordination of our collaborative research implemented within the network of the french regional clusters « Pôles de compétitivité ».

Launching in 2008 of the network of our Phd students supported by industry.

Annual reporting and follow up of the indicators in the field of DV.





« En direct des labos » et « Live from the labs » two electronic free of charge newsletters for our socio-

economic partners

4380 partners have subscribed in France…. and 360 outside Francewww.inra.fr/en_direct_des_labos www.international.inra.fr/live_from_the_labs

Aims and objectives :• Providing our private partners, through a professional and attractive tool, with the researches conducted and the results achieved in INRA, • Meeting the industrial needs and stimulating the demand of research, • Establishing relationships between researchers and private companies in France and Europe,• Facilitating the cooperation with the best INRA scientific teams.
