Résumé Dès sa création l'INED constitua un organisme tout à fait original, dans le monde de la recherche. Il était, certes, héritier de la Fondation d'Alexis Carrel, avec ses équipes de recherche, mais il portait la marque de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler « l'esprit Sauvy ». C'est cette manière de gouverner et de mettre les chercheurs dans les conditions les plus propices à leur recherche, que nous rappelle ici Roland Pressat. Il en tire des leçons qui sont aussi un plaidoyer pour moins de formalisme et moins de bureaucratie dans l'organisation contemporaine de la recherche.
