The Carnot label was created in 2006 to support partnership-based research, in other words to promote research projects undertaken by both public research players and those from the socio-economic world. This label takes the form of financial support from the French National Research Agency (ANR), calculated on the basis of income generated by partnership-based research contracts, with companies especially. The mission of the Carnot Institute network is to serve corporate innovation through scientific excellence.
Why the name Carnot?
The Carnot Institute network is named for French physicist and engineer Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1796-1832), known as Sadi Carnot. He is particularly famous for having laid the foundations of what would later become called “thermodynamics”.
