Carnot Institute: latest news and upcoming events

• The 2018 Activity Report is online!

Carnot Institutes are public research bodies recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation for their commitment to developing R&D that drives industrial innovation.

The "Pasteur Microbes and Health" (Pasteur MS) Carnot Institute is composed of the six Institut Pasteur departments that deal primarily with infectious diseases (Cell Biology and Infection, Global Health, Microbiology, Parasites and Insect Vectors, Virology and Mycology); the units dealing with immunology and neuroscience are also associated with the institute. The aim is to develop scientific and technological innovations in fields related to infectious and chronic diseases, antimicrobial resistance and the role of the microbiota in health.

The Activity Report outlines the main activities carried out by the Pasteur MS Carnot Institute in 2018, in synergy with the Research Applications and Industrial Relations Department (DARRI), including the provision of funding for long-term projects with potential for applications, support for maturation programs, and measures to raise awareness of business development.

These activities are firmly in line with the Institut Pasteur 2019-2023 Strategic Plan in the area of technology transfer, with the aim of developing research applications and boosting partnerships with industry.
