The Birth of the Délégation générale à la recherche scientifique et technique: The Construction of a Shared Governing Model in the 1960s

Abstract

The mechanism set up in 1958 in the aim of improving the organisation of scientific research was backed by the Interministerial Committee for Scientific and Technical Research. However, it was the creation in 1961 of an institution which was not thought of in the initial texts, the Délégation générale à la recherche scientifique et technique, that gave that mechanism coherence. The DGRST finally disappeared in 1981 with the creation of the new ministry of Jean-Pierre Chevènement, which absorbed it, making it into its central administration. Although the DGRST then became an institution of the past, the mechanism it was part of remains the basis of the national research system in France today.
