This budget is supplemented by public and private funds from research funding bodies, including the ANR, ANRS-MIE, INCa, European Union, FRM, Sidaction, etc., raised by our research teams to support their research projects. The teams raise an average of €12M in grants each year, 50% of which is dedicated to funding contractual personnel.
For the past two years, Institut Cochin has also called on private donations to finance its research projects, equipment, and young researchers. More information...
