M2P proposes flexible &
adapted modes of collaboration

IRT M2P has access to dedicated funds as part of the French government’s “invest in the future” programme, the Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir (PIA), to jointly fund R&D projects and feasibility studies.

R&D projects

These projects have the support of IRT M2P and are mainly carried out using our skills on our facilities, generally in response to the combined research needs of several manufacturers.

  • The partners define the research programme, which is jointly produced with the IRT M2P teams.
  • Projects progressively take form based on a selection and funding access process in which IRT M2P is proficient.
  • Partners who have contributed to these projects – major groups, medium-sized enterprises, SMEs and/or academic partners – have preferential access to the results.
Feasibility studies

This partnership approach enables the following:

  • Definition of the work specifications for a new platform
  • Studies into new ways to use a platform already available at IRT M2P
  • Ascertain the need for a go/no go for a future project.

Collaborative projects co-financed by calls for projects (CFP)

These projects are launched in response to various regional, national or European calls for projects to build on shared results concerning innovative research.

  • IRT M2P combines its skills with the consortium’s skills
  • Project development and filing as per the CFP timetable
  • The success rate depends on the call for project
