Goals and Performance Contract 2017 - 2021 - integral version [.pdf]
Challenges
The Institute's scientific life is guided by the desire to respond to the major challenges facing society in terms of transport, mobility, safety, planning and the environment.
These issues were defined by the new Goals and Performance Contract (COP 2017 – 2021) which came into force in 2017. Themes 1 and 2 extend the challenges of the 2012 scientific strategy on mobility and infrastructure, and challenges 3 and 4 on the environment and regions are refocussed within the same theme which deals with the protection and development of regions. In addition to the three scientific themes, the 4th theme aims to encourage and promote scientific excellence and technology transfer within the institute.
The scientific results relating to these three themes for 2017 are presented in the second part of this activity report.
