The Carnot Network unveils the 2024 winners of the Carnot Partnership Research Awards!
The Carnot Partnership Research Awards, recognising exemplary collaboration between Carnot Network institutes and industry, were presented on 16 October 2024 at the Rendez-vous Carnot. Hydrogen for mobility, massive electricity storage, new materials with remarkable properties, eco-responsible wood construction: these are the fields in which the winners have succeeded in co-constructing innovative solutions with their industrial partners. Each year, the Carnot Network singles out four projects in four different categories and chooses one of them to receive the Carnot Grand Prize.
Well done to the four prizewinners on outstanding partnerships between teams from the Carnot Network's 39 institutes and companies!
