The '''Carnot label''' ({{langx|fr|label Carnot}}) is an official French label awarded to public research laboratories carrying out scientific research in public–private partnerships. Laboratories that carry the label are also referred to as a '''Carnot Institute''' ({{langx|fr|institut Carnot}}) and form a part of the '''Carnot network''' ({{langx|fr|réseau Carnot}}). Created in 2006, it is awarded by the French Minister of Higher Education and Research, for a renewable five-year period.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Carnot label - Research and innovation for industry |url=https://www.lereseaudescarnot.fr/en/carnot-label |website=lereseaudescarnot.fr |access-date=23 March 2024 |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323235813/https://www.lereseaudescarnot.fr/en/carnot-label |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=gouv>{{cite web |title=Les instituts Carnot |url=https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/fr/les-instituts-carnot-46341 |website=enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr |access-date=23 March 2024 |date=10 February 2020 |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323235811/https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/fr/les-instituts-carnot-46341 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Laboratories holding the Carnot label receive public funding, paid by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche. It is calculated according to the volume and growth, over the duration of the partnership, of research contracts established with companies based on their needs. This funding is in addition to that paid by the companies themselves.

The labeling procedure includes a preparatory phase called "Tremplin Carnot", designed for laboratories that do not fully meet the required criteria, but receive specific support.<ref name=gouv />

The name of the label was chosen in honor of the engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot.

==History== The Carnot label was created in 2006, in order to help public-private partnerships for innovation, and supports both SMEs as well as larger corporations.<ref>{{cite book | last=Mercier-Laurent | first=Eunika | title=Les écosystèmes de l'innovation | publisher=Lavoisier | publication-place=Paris | date=2011-03-05 | isbn=978-2-7462-2117-8 | language=fr | pages=192–193}}</ref>

==Organization== The Carnot network is managed by the Association of Carnot Institutes (AiCarnot), which has a board of directors.<ref>{{cite web|title=Association des instituts Carnot &#124; the Carnot network |url=https://www.lereseaudescarnot.fr/en/association-des-instituts-carnot}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=L'Équipe de l'AiCarnot &#124; le réseau des Carnot |url=https://www.lereseaudescarnot.fr/fr/l-equipe-de-laicarnot}}</ref> Since 2022, Dr. Jean-Denis Muller is the director general.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jean-Denis Muller est nommé Directeur général de l'Association des instituts Carnot |url=https://www.lereseaudescarnot.fr/fr/actualite/jean-denis-muller-est-nomme-directeur-general-de-lassociation-des-instituts-carnot |access-date=28 March 2024 |work=lereseaudescarnot.fr |date=21 June 2022 |language=fr}}</ref>
