The Matignon Agreements were agreements signed in the Hôtel Matignon by Jean-Marie Tjibaou and Jacques Lafleur on 26 June 1988 between loyalists who wanted to keep New Caledonia as a part of the French Republic, and separatists, who wanted independence. The agreements were arranged under the aegis of the Government of France as a result of discussions and compromises arranged by Christian Blanc, the negotiator for Michel Rocard's government.

Île-de-France Mobilités (French: [il də fʁɑ̃s mɔbilite]; IDFM) is a governmental authority (EPA) that controls and coordinates the different public transport companies operating in Paris and the rest of Île-de-France. In this capacity, it issues operating contracts for the various services, owns the buses and rolling stock used on those services, and acts as the main financing body for transport projects in the region. It coordinates the operation of RATP Group, SNCF, and the nearly 90 Optile-affiliated bus companies.

The origins of the organization can be traced back to the Syndicat des Transports Parisiens (STP), which was created by the French Government in 1959 to coordinate the various operations in the Paris region. The STP also provided oversight for the construction of the Réseau Express Régional and established the unified Carte orange fare payment system. In 1991, the STP was empowered to cover the entire Île-de-France region.

The Minister of War (French: Ministre de la guerre) was the leader and most senior official of the French Ministry of War. It was a position in the Government of France from 1791 to 1947, replacing the position of Secretary of State for War and later being merged with the offices of Minister of the Navy and Minister of Air to form a new Minister of the Armed Forces.

The Minister of Higher Education, Research and Space (French: Ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Espace; formerly Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation or Ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation) is a cabinet position in the French Government overseeing university-level education and research. The ministry is headquartered in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. The current minister was appointed on 23 December 2024 and is Philippe Baptiste serving in the Bayrou government, first Lecornu government and the current second Lecornu government — he is an engineer, holder of a doctorate from the University of Technology of Compiègne and a graduate engineer of Mines Nancy; a researcher with the CNRS; a professor at École Polytechnique; and former President of the National Centre for Space Studies (CNES). The minister has either headed a ministry in its own right — as between 1959 and 1974 (as Minister for Scientific Research) and from 1992 to 1993 (as Minister for Research and Space); been attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, as between 1974 and 1981; or served as a delegated minister, as has been the case since 1993, under the supervision of another ministry. Between 1993 and 2025, the delegated minister has been under the authority of the Minister of National Education.

The Ministry is one of the sponsors of the Irène Joliot-Curie Prize, which is awarded to women scientists who have distinguished themselves by the quality of their research.
