Operated by Bpifrance
PRESS RELEASE FEBRUARY 7, 2017 Oncodesign’s OncoSNIPE® collaborative programme receives €7.7 million in support from the “Investments for the Future Programme” operated by Bpifrance Creation of a consortium of hospitals, universities and corporates to develop diagnostic tools and research new therapeutic targets The programme has a total budget of €12 million, with €7.7 million coming from French government funds as part of call for structural competitiveness projects (PSPC), under the “Investment for the Future Programme”, managed by the Commissariat Général à l'Investissement (CGI) and operated by Bpifrance Dijon, France, February 7, 2017 - Oncodesign (FR0011766229 - ALONC), a biotechnology company serving the pharmaceutical industry in the discovery of new therapeutic molecules to fight cancer and other serious illnesses with no known effective treatment, today announced Prime Minister’s agreement to provide financial support for its strategic OncoSNIPE® programme. OncoSNIPE® is a programme designed to develop and implement “bio-IT” approaches, drawing on methodologies including artificial intelligence, statistical learning and semantic enrichment to help identify and characterise patients who are resistant to anti-cancer treatments and thus target research and development on specific therapies through the identification of new targets. OncoSNIPE® will enable Oncodesign to generate new research pathways for its Experimentation and Discovery activities. The programme, which will last four years, is managed and coordinated by Oncodesign and will bring together four industrial partners with complementary expertise and core businesses – Expert System (Modena, Italy), Sword (Lyon, France), Acobiom (Montpellier, France) and Oncodesign (Dijon, France) – and three French academic institutions – Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg, Centre George François Leclerc in Dijon and Institut Paoli Calmettes in Marseille, these last two being anti-cancer centres. -

An Active Network of Twin Towns
Dijon, a Regional Capital with AN ACTIVE NETWORK an International Standing OF TWIN TOWNS François Rebsamen Mayor of Dijon and President of Greater Dijon Unesco's dual recognition of Dijon, with the Gastronomic meal of the French and the Climates of Burgundy's Vineyards, confirms our city's worldwide prestige and international appeal. Our region is fortunate to be identified as a key place of gastronomy, wine and historical heritage. The hundreds of thousands of tourists who come to Dijon each year attest to just how vibrant our city is. And their numbers are on the rise. Over the past 15 years, we have implemented an ambitious strategy which is commensurate with our means and size: we have invested more than one billion euros in major infrastructures, making Dijon a true metropolitan regional city. In addition, Greater Dijon is one of the few urban areas in Greater Eastern France, with a continually increasing population and since 1st January 2016, it is ranked among France's top regional capitals. Dijon is a cosmopolitan city with some 126 different nationalities and several consulates and foreign cultural centres. It is therefore not surprising that it is setting its sight at the international level. With more than 3,000 foreign students each year, through its participation in important trade and tourism fairs, with its European cultural and sporting events, in addition to the well-known international firms set up in the city, there is no doubt that Dijon is globally minded. And these impressive facts are the modern day version of Dijon's impressive history with the Dukes of Burgundy who used to be at the head of the biggest political and artistic power of their time. -
Costs and Demand of High Speed Rail in Italy and Spain
World Conference on Transport Research - WCTR 2016 Shanghai. 10-15 July 2016 Delusions of success: costs and demand of high speed rail in Italy and Spain Paolo Beria1a, Daniel Albalateb, Raffaele Grimaldia, Germà Belb a Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU), Politecnico di Milano, Italy b Dep. Política Econòmica, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain Abstract Mismatches between forecasted and actual costs and traffic figures are common in transport investments, especially in large scale ones, and so are delusions on future demand. High-speed rail project are often among the worst practices for cost overruns and demand overestimation, even where traffic figures may tell a history of apparent success. In the paper, we analyse two significant cases of delusion of success, namely Italian and Spanish HSR programmes. The Italian one shows excellent demand performances, but is among the continental worst cases for construction costs. The Spanish one, recognised worldwide as one of the most successful cases, is the one where potential demand estimations was systematically neglected and the planned network appears largely out-of-scale compared to actual traffic. The two cases show that the core of the problem does not lay in the wrong estimations of costs and demand, but on deliberate choices of overinvestment, overdesign and overquality. © 2017 The Authors.

2012 VINCI Construction Annual Report
ANNUAL REPORT 2012 BRUXELLES, REUNION ISLAND SAINT ÉTIENNE RIVER BRIDGE The new bridge over the Saint Étienne River is being built to replace the structure destroyed by a cyclone in 2007. It is designed to withstand the island’s flooding and torrential rains and carry daily traffic of nearly 60,000 vehicles. The facings of its eight piers have a sugar cane motif. The Reunion Regional Council awarded the €95 million contract to a consortium made up of VINCI Construction companies. Dodin Campenon Bernard, Botte Fondations and SBTPC pooled their foundation, civil engineering and development capabilities to carry out the project. Special measures have been introduced to conserve biodiversity throughout the works.
