Institut Cochin–Elsevier Innovation Award Ceremony
Where science meets impact.
Since 2017, the Institut Cochin and Elsevier have been working together to highlight the most promising and creative research. Each year, the Institut Cochin–Elsevier Innovation Prize rewards a project carried out at the Institut Cochin whose industrial or clinical development potential stands out for its innovative nature.

About
Location: Salle du Sénat, Université Paris Cité (12 rue de l'Ecole de Médecine, 75006, Paris ) Date: 21 november 2025
The ceremony will be followed by an inspiring round table discussion on ‘The evolving role of universities in regional innovation ecosystems’.
At a time when universities are becoming true ‘fourth-generation institutions’, how can we redefine their mission, measure their impact and strengthen their contribution to European competitiveness and societal progress?
