---++CNRS AIL: Associated International laboratory
</center>
%TOC%

AIL is a CNRS tool for *%RED%initiating and running international collaborations%ENDCOLOR%* on a well identified
although broad research domain. It has been designed to increase the degree of collaborations between two countries, to create
a wider researcher basis for future joint projects and to enforce the visibility of the joint venture.

It is a formal network of laboratories between 2 countries with a simple but well defined
structure and organization including budget allocation provision, co-direction and steering
committee managment, scientific evaluation and protection of intellectual property rights. It relies on nation to nation or organization to organization general research agreements. Based on a 4 years renewable term it has been tailored to the
need of bilateral collaborations but can easily *%RED%be extended to multi-lateral and multi-institutional programs%ENDCOLOR%*. 

Each host laboratory provides the foreign researchers
with the necessary support, very much as it would do for a domestic visiting researcher. <b>%RED%It is
open to all researchers regardless of its original laboratory being or not an AIL host laboratory%ENDCOLOR%</b>.

Specific support for tenure researcher long term visits (from 1 month up to 1 year) and for
hiring !PhD students (3 years) and post-docs (2 years) are provided by both countries. The
most sensitive issue of international collaboration namely *Project Continuity* is thus addressed
through space and time overlap of expertise and through the sustained scientific direction
and evaluation.

It has proven to be a quite unique and successful framework for many fields and in many
countries. 
<b>%RED%More than 15 AIL are running in the world on different topics like agriculture,
genomics, gamma ray, catalysis, molecular engineering &#65533;%ENDCOLOR%</b>

More specifically in Asia, several AIL have already been set i.e in Japan on MEMS with the university of Tokyo [[http://toshi.fujita3.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/limms/][LIMMS]]
(1987) on humanoid robotics (2002) [[http://www.is.aist.go.jp/jrl/][JRL]] with AIST Tsukuba and on Particle Physics with KEK. Beyond their scientific
achievements and the visibility given to the programs, they have played a major role in improving
the understanding between the communities and the internationalization of both institutions.
