The CNRS and the Association nationale pour la valorisation interdisciplinaire de la recherche en sciences de l’homme et de la société auprès des entreprises (National association for the publicizing of interdisciplinary research in humanities and social sciences in the business world) (ANVIE) have awarded their joint prize, which crowns research achievements in the field of humanities and social sciences carried out in partnership with a business enterprise, to Marek Boualem and Stéphane Harié, of the Parole et Langage (Speech and Language) Laboratory (CNRS and Université de Provence), for their MtScript project.

MtScript is a publishing software for multilingual documents. It has already been used, via Internet, in more than thirty-two countries. Thanks to this software, multilingual texts written in a host of languages - French, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Bulgarian, Greek, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.- can be entered, coded and edited. Several industrial firms collaborated on the development of this software in the framework of a European project.
Each year, the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of the CNRS awards a prize of 100,000 FF to a research team or researcher of the department working on a project in partnership with actors of the socioeconomic sector.
The Association nationale pour la valorisation interdisciplinaire de la recherche en sciences de l’homme et de la société auprès des entreprises (ANVIE) also takes part in this event by awarding an additional prize of 10,000 FF.
