Negotiating a Pass in a Private Cloud for Research However, this supercomputer will not cater to all research requirements bearing on cloud computing for quick and often complex testing in terms of hardware or software configuration, as might be found on the main Private Cloud stakeholders (AWS, azure, etc.). For the AI cloud requirements, setting up an access package to a cloud adapted to AI is recommended. This package (including computing time and storage space at least adaptable) could be allocated based on the teams and their needs. The aim here is also to maintain maximum flexibility in terms of access to the infrastructure. Given the scale of such a project, this AI cloud will be expected to develop at European level through a privileged partnership with a specialist European stakeholder in the field. Using it for research would have a twofold advantage, firstly for research, but also for "initiating European industrial momentum with regard to AI", an idea explored in Part 1 of this report. 3. Enhancing the Appeal of Careers in Public Research Improving the Profile of Professor and Researcher Careers, Particularly in the Early Stages Unrealistic though it would be to try and Doubling starting salaries is compete with the financial offerings of the a necessity, otherwise we GAFAMs, the pay gap is currently so large that it is putting off young graduates— risk seeing the arrival of even those most attached to public young graduates ready to research and the common good. At least invest in higher education doubling starting salaries is a necessity, otherwise we risk seeing the arrival of and academic research dry young graduates ready to invest in higher up completely education and academic research dry up completely. Increasing France's Appeal in the Eyes of Expatriate or Foreign Talent The status of permanent researcher is one of the last surviving advantages that French research has over all of its competitors, whether we are talking about the major digital industries or public institutions abroad (Europe included), and it is often the only argument to counter the eye-popping salaries offered. But for a senior researcher, entering the French system is a very big step financially speaking (buying back pension contributions over a long period), which could partly be accomplished with ad hoc assistance, something which seems nigh on impossible today. Other measures of ad hoc assistance could also be considered on a case-by-case basis (see the recommendations concerning 3IA institutes that are not intended to be limited to the RN3IA.). Similar assistance should also be offered for national mobility schemes, so as not to put at an indirect disadvantage researchers who already have permanent positions in France, thereby paradoxically creating 76
