Developing together tomorrow’s chemistry, materials and processes
- From needs analysis to integrated solutions, we support companies in their R&D projects.
- We use the multidisciplinary expertise of more than 800 researchers to bring innovations to market.
- Our research partnerships have a high added value through a balance between basic and applied research.
- The network of 39 Carnot Institutes benefits our partners, by allowing an interdisciplinary approach. It is also a guarantee of professionalism and results.
A strong commitment to accompany our industrial partners:
- a single contact point to identify the appropriate research teams to address your needs;
- traceability, confi dentiality and protection of the results;
- transfer of technology and expertise;
- accredited quality procedures for the contracting and management of the research partnership.
