Thank you very much.
I would first suggest more flexibility in this program.
What is important for us, for the industry, is to develop a project or research portfolio with some very short-term research that we need to solve some specific issues. We also need a long-term vision so that we can do research, the results of which will be longer term.
We can have this flexibility. For example, a three-year program was in fact a five-year program because it took one year and more...one year to plan the program, and so on. The next phase will be five years. We think maybe it will be five years or seven years.
What would be interesting is when you sign an agreement with a cluster you could say, “You can use 60% or 75% of your funds on projects that are already very well defined.” In the course of a program, before two, three or four years, it would perhaps be much more efficient to be able to switch a part of these funds to do research on something new and very interesting should the opportunity come up.
The point is to have more flexibility between the clusters and also a bigger emphasis on the transfer, because we know it takes time to generate research results. It also takes time to be sure that we are efficient in using it. We have to use it in the fastest way we can, so with this kind of flexibility it could be easy to achieve. Finally, it could make better and more efficient use of the money that we want from Parliament, especially since it is public money. It is also private money. We have many private partners who invest with us in this.
