The results of the 2025 survey of the 34 certified PFTs that are members of Innovalo were presented. Its aim was to assess the situation, strengths and weaknesses, as well as perceived opportunities and threats for 2025. 94% of members, representing 32 PFTs, responded.

Many PFTs express concern about reduced funding and a sense of institutional abandonment. However, some remain optimistic thanks to the diversification of their activities and new technological opportunities.

Conclusion :

The survey highlights a rapidly changing sector, facing economic and structural challenges but also fostering innovations and new collaborative dynamics. Increased support and better structuring of activities could enable Technology Platforms (PFTs) to strengthen their impact and sustainability. The INNOVALO association suggests considering the establishment of a status for PFT directors managed locally by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

The objective being:

• to reduce the precariousness of existing positions
• to propose career plans adapted to teachers who engage in the activities of a PFT
• to standardize at the national level the roles of DRAFPIC (Regional Academic Delegates for Initial and Continuing Professional Training) and DRARI (Regional Academic Delegates for Research and Innovation) in the management of job descriptions and PFT objectives
• to unify the discourse of the two ministries (MEN: Ministry of National Education and MESR: Ministry of Higher Education and Research) based on the specifications of the PFT label
