What is the Carnot label?
Established in 2006, the Carnot label aims to strengthen collaborative research between public laboratories and socio-economic partners, including businesses and other organisations.
The label is awarded to public research institutes that combine upstream research with a strong commitment to developing collaborative research that meets the needs of the socio-economic world. Working together as a network, Carnot institutes pool their expertise and resources to address the needs of businesses of all sizes, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations.
Each year, members of the Carnot network sign over 11,000 contracts, file over 1,000 patents and launch over 100 start-ups. These contracts account for 55% of all partnership-based research in France. Institutes in the Carnot network receive government funding based on the income they generate through their collaborative research contracts.
The Carnot label at the University of Strasbourg
Three laboratories from the University of Strasbourg are part of Carnot MICA, and received the Carnot label in 2020: the Strasbourg Institute of Materials Physics and Chemistry (Institut de physique et chimie des matériaux de Strasbourg – IPCMS), the Institute of Chemistry and Processes for Energy, the Environment and Health (Institut de chimie et procédés pour l'énergie, l'environnement et la santé – ICPEES), and the Charles Sadron Institute (Institut Charles-Sadron – ICS).
The Laboratory of Engineering, Computer Science and Imagery (laboratoire des sciences de l'ingénieur, de l'informatique et de l'imagerie – ICube) is part of the Institut Carnot Télécom et Société numérique (TSN), and received the Carnot label in 2006.
