The Paris Brain Institute Foundation (ICM), recognised as a public interest organisation in 2006, began its scientific activities in 2010 at the centre of the same name located at La Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris. Its aim is to bring together fundamental research, clinical research and innovation at a single location, with a particular focus on the economic and industrial applications of its work. To this end, it has equipped itself with high-tech platforms and employs engineers, technicians and administrative staff to support its research teams. The latter are, for the most part, public-sector employees and are part of a joint research unit (UMR) under the supervision of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and Sorbonne University. This report analyses the foundation's financial situation, verifies compliance with obligations related to public fundraising, and details the strategy, organisation and resources used to collect funds from the public.
