First created in Dec.2000, the National Academy of Technologies of France (NATF) is now a public establishment reporting to the Minister for Higher Education and Research. The current President is Bruno REVELLIN-FALCOZ. The NATF is a benchmarking institution and a privileged intermediary between the worlds of research and the socio-economic actors for all questions appertaining to technology and its interactions with Society. There are 265 Fellows to date – research scientists, engineers, industrialists, agronomists, economists, medical practitioners, architects, sociologists … and together the Fellows analyse and make proposals in regards to the majors challenges we are facing today.
“The NATF Fellows are elected from the ranks of candidates who are all high level personalities, capable of providing the highest levels of competence not only in various technology intensive areas but also in regard to the processes related to technologies, to research and its applications, R&D financing, dissemination of technology related information under the economic, social and cultural aspects”*
Cf. para.1 of the NATF statutory Charter.
