The organization has adopted a geostrategic positioning geared toward partnerships for excellence, especially with the US, other European countries, Japan and Singapore, as well as a strong positioning in Latin America, India and China. Another interesting observation is the trend toward greater structuring of the collaborations, as testified, for example, by the 25% increase in the number of LIAs since 2011. On the other hand, the CNRS has less institutional presence in regions that could present scientific benefit. Consequently, Patrick Nédellec plans to step up cooperation with areas of scientific growth like Africa and the Middle East, and with countries that have seen relatively little cooperative activity, such as Australia and New Zealand, through the development of prospective tools like exchange agreements.
