CNRS medal of innovation

Created in 2011, the medal of innovation honours exceptional research that led to striking technological, therapeutic, or social innovation, thereby enhancing French scientific research. The jury awards between one and five medals each year. The winning researchers or engineers can be CNRS members, but can also come from other research organisations, universities, higher-education institutions, and companies involved in research.
