A few days ago, Loïc Estève, Alexandre Gramfort, Olivier Grisel, Bertrand Thirion, and myself received the "Académie des Sciences Inria prize for transfer", for our contributions to the scikit-learn project. To put things simply, it's quite a big deal to me, because I feel that it illustrates a change of culture in academia. It is a great honor, because the selection was made by the members of the Académie des Sciences, very accomplished scientists with impressive contributions to science. The "Académie" is the hallmark of fundamental academic science in France. To me, this prize is also symbolic because it recognizes an open view of academic research and transfer, a view that sometimes felt as not playing according to the incentives.
