The Institut Universitaire de France, abbreviated by the acronym IUF is a French service of the Ministry of Higher Education that distinguishes each year a small number of university professors for their research excellence, as evidenced by their international recognition. It was created to become a new "Collège de France", located in French universities. Only 2% of French university professors have been currently distinguished by the Institut Universitaire de France. ==Introduction== The Institute was created by decree on 26 of August, 1991. It is an organization without walls whose members remain in their own universities (at least two thirds of the members of the IUF belong to universities outside Paris ). The purpose of the IUF is to give full freedom to its winners to pursue their research and give them the means to disseminate them. There is a strong area of excellence for French research, as evidenced by the international reputation of its members. About 2% of total French faculties are members (active or honorary) of the IUF. Each year a symposium brings together members of the IUF in order to allow exchanges at the highest level of French research. The IUF is composed of two types of members, all faculty members, professors or lecturers, stationed in a French university: *senior members who have reached international recognition. *junior members (under 40 years old), who are promising young scholars. In addition, about ten foreign teachers may be invited each year. Members are elected for five years (not renewable for the junior, renewable once for seniors). *They are placed in the position of delegation to the IUF, but remain in their home university. *They benefit from a reduction of 2 / 3 of their statutory teaching service. *Specific research money is paid each year to their team or laboratory . The sum is 15,000 euros per year. *They automatically receive the national award of scientific excellence (PES): 6000 euros for junior members, 10 000 euros for senior members. *A progress report is requested their mid-term and after 5 years of their delegation. *IUF members must contribute to the scientific reputation locally, nationally and internationally in a deliberate effort to interdisciplinarity .〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institut Universitaire de France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
