Become a patron
Sponsorship and the CNRS Foundation
Corporate philanthropy makes it possible to contribute voluntarily, without direct compensation, to the general advancement of knowledge, the common good that will lead to tomorrow’s innovations, based on the results of free, long-term fundamental research.
Supporting the CNRS Foundation also means contributing to the life of research laboratories, which are potential partners in more focused relationships. It also means helping to attract young talent to CNRS laboratories.
Patronage helps us to maintain and develop our unique multi-disciplinary expertise. It means helping CNRS to meet environmental, political and demographic challenges…
Contribute to ensuring that CNRS has the means to consolidate its position as a national player, present throughout France, and as an international player, at the forefront of the world’s research rankings and benefiting from its brand image.
Sponsorship, in the form of chairs, brings the world of business closer to that of laboratories and their staff within a flexible framework. With no direct compensation, this support will enable us to preserve or develop rare or emerging knowledge and disciplines, which are the source of inventions and technical advances that no one can predict today, but which will contribute to the development of the products and markets of the future.
You can also sponsor a major scientific incentive prize in a field of interest to your company.
Support us
The sponsorship project is fully customized to match the values we share and your areas of interest.
Taxation
Your support is tax-deductible. The sponsorship tax regime allows companies subject to income or corporation tax to benefit from a tax reduction equal to 60% of the amount of donations made up to 2 million euros, and a reduction at the rate of 40% for the fraction exceeding 2 million euros.
The total is subject to a limit of 5 ‰ of sales, raised to a minimum of €20,000 per year for SMEs (article 238 bis of the General Tax Code).
