Completely wrong direction imo. It would be better and more efficient to increase funding rates of existing schemes funding more of the already fundable, great ideas for projects that are out there instead of yet another call with, most probably, less than 10% success rate.

Response of French research institutions to research misconduct remains inadequate
In March 2023, Dorothy Bishop and sixteen other internationally recognised leaders in the field of scientific integrity took the unusual step of sending an open letter to the CEO of CNRS to highlight that "the response by institutions, publishers and funders is typically slow, opaque and inadequate, and is biased in favour of the accused, paying scant attention to the impact on those who use research, and placing whistleblowers in a difficult position".

Almost 2 years ago Le Monde reported that CNRS & Université of Lille had opened an investigation about 60 articles published by a University Prof and a Research Director at CNRS. Two years on, nothing seems to have happened. The count on PubPeer is now at ~150 with comments still coming in.
