Abstract
France's chief research agency, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), will receive a 1.12% increase in funding next year, taking its income to FFr 13.3bn (about £1.6m) despite the government cutting the overall research budget by 1.5% to FFr 52.3bn. The CNRS suffered a financial crisis two years ago when it was revealed that, for several years, payment from government had fallen short of the amount promised (Physics World November 1994 p5).
