French report seeks to slow fusion project
Article Abstract:
A report published by an advisory committee to the French government calls for ensuring long-term financial guarantee and resolving technological problems before building the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The ITER will be used to study nuclear fusion as an energy source. The report warns that French expenditure on a European space program will negatively effect the funding of other research projects. Scientists not involved with ITER should be given more powers in running the project.

France seeks to tighten its control over life sciences
Article Abstract:
A disagreement exists between the French government and key research organizations on the control of future research, as reflected by a proposal of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research to assume control of new national strategy for life sciences. The ministry will establish 14 scientific committees under the new strategy to carry out peer review and funding of specific scientific projects.
