INTRODUCTION
The authors are all members of the steering committee of the Démarche qualité en recherche network supported by the Mission ressources et compétences technologiques (UPS 2274 of the CNRS).
While the quality approach is a concept that has been formalized in industry since the early 20th century, its deployment in public research is more recent. Its implementation in the research environment is highly specific, as demonstrated by a number of initiatives carried out in recent years by various organizations. It generally responds to scientific, economic and financial challenges... The specificities of the research sector can be both a hindrance and a driving force.
If the quality approach is a concept that was formalized since the beginning of the twentieth century in the industry, its deployment in public research is more recent. Its implementation in the research community is very specific as shown by different actions led in recent years in different organizations. It usually responds to different challenges (scientific, economic, financial...). The specificities of the research should stop its deployment but also promote it.
