Core funding partners
IDDRI's financial model is based centrally on the core funding and in-kind support of its founding members and long-term partners.
Financing from the founding companies (EDF, Engie, Veolia, Saint-Gobain, Suez), research centres (INRAE) and ministries (Higher Education and Research, Foreign Affairs, Environment, Economy and Finance) was supplemented in 2007 by in-kind contributions linked to the strategic partnership with Sciences Po and CIRAD, and by the IDGM programme, supported by the financial proceeds of a long-term AFD loan, which expired at the end of March 2023. This structuring funding has been replaced by multi-year funding from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economy and Finance. The IDGM was supplemented in 2011 by Labex funding, which is now part of the I-Site of the University of Clermont Auvergne. At the same time, most of IDDRI's founding companies continued to support IDDRI and were joined by new partners (BNP Paribas, Kering, Vinci, Danone, Johnson Matthey, and Ecocert).
This funding enables IDDRI to carry out the joint project of its founding members, updated every 5 years through a strategic project and a medium-term work programme, adopted by the Board of Directors, while maintaining all its capacity for monitoring, anticipation, reactivity and independence.
Project partners
On this basis, IDDRI involves very diversified partners in the financing of its projects. The institute is thus recognised and supported by numerous French public bodies, by the European Commission, as well as by international organisations and philanthropic foundations.
