AXA IM Research Award

We believe solutions for a sustainable future are largely dependent on acting upon scientific research, and asset managers can support a fair and sustainable transition based on such transformative research.

Working towards a fair transition

It is in this spirit that we launched the AXA IM Research Award in 2021, in partnership with the AXA Research Fund, to reward a top-tier researcher for their contribution to their field - in particular, innovative and impactful approaches towards a fair transition.

We believe investing in education, health systems and social justice may help people cope with climate change and we are strongly convinced that science and research remain at the forefront of discovering new solutions to help the world become sustainable.

The 2024 Award – Greening the blue economy

The fourth AXA IM Research Award focuses on innovative research in marine energy, infrastructure, and natural capital.

The ocean, which covers 71% of the Earth's surface, plays a crucial role in combating climate change, and preserving it is essential for this effort. The blue economy should be recognized as a key factor in this endeavour.
