• Encourage institutions and research faculty to achieve excellence in research, with the positive consequences that can be expected for teaching, the training of young researchers and, more generally, the dissemination of knowledge.
• Contribute to bringing more women into the research sector.
• Contribute to a balanced distribution of university research in the country, and therefore to a policy of national scientific networking.
