The DAPP's missions
The Public Partnership Support Department (DAPP) implements and manages the CNRS's partnership policy with public institutions both locally and nationally. The DAPP coordinates the CNRS's representation system towards these institutions. It is also the reference structure for the production and analysis of data on the CNRS's activities and partnerships.
To carry out its missions the DAPP's work is based on 5 departments:
- The 'Public Territorial Partners' department takes part in defining and implementing differentiated policies along with the Scientific Director and Site Referents (DSRs), the Regional Representatives (DRs) and their respective deputy directors. It coordinates CNRS initiatives that contribute to the development and influence of its sites. It steers the development and monitoring of agreements between the CNRS and universities, schools or the local authorities.
- The 'National Institutions' department monitors relations between the CNRS, other national research organizations and the ministries involved. More specifically it is in charge of the preparation and management of agreements between the CNRS and these institutions.
- The 'Structures and Organisational Tools' department coordinates the whole administrative process for the creation and evolution of structures involving the CNRS and higher education and research (ESR) institutions while also creating the necessary organisational tool. It steers the annual temporary assignments campaign.
- The 'Data and Indicators' department centralises all data describing research and research support structures, manages databases, carries out studies and produces institutional indicators. It also takes part in the design of the decision-making support platform.
