From the article:
The latest report assessing the state of scientific research in France in 2019 has revealed a nation that is still a “major European scientific power”, but one whose global importance is diminishing as research output grows worldwide, writes Alexander Hellemans for Chemistry World.  
 
The report outlines some of France’s remarkable successes – its leading position in mathematics – but also its weaknesses, including a lack of funding for artificial intelligence and its poor ranking for the impact of its chemistry research.
