Unité mixte de recherche

In France, a unité mixte de recherche (UMR), or joint research unit as translated into English, is an administrative type of research laboratory that is partially supported by CNRS and partially by other organizations or universities, in terms of funds, academic and non-academic staff, and other type of support.[1][2]

History

The original concept of the French UMR dates back to 1966, when the CNRS created the laboratoires associés (associated laboratories), overseen by then-director of CNRS Pierre Jacquinot.[3]

In 2021, various changes were implemented to simplify the organization of UMRs.[4]
