The OPALE association
Integrated within the OPALE Carnot Institute, the OPALE Association does not develop scientific research per se. It is the legal structure that represents the Institute and its supervisory bodies to the French National Research Agency, the Carnot Institutes Association and the rest of the ecosystem. Through its staff, its main role is to coordinate and support the partnership research activities of the Institute's entities. It develops collective actions for the professionalization and scientific resourcing of the consortium. It ensures the visibility of the OPALE Carnot Institute's R&D offering to industry and other socio-economic players, for whom it offers a unique first-access opportunity. Its actions complement those of the institute's entities.
