For three centuries, the six Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) establishments have contributed to scientific discoveries and major technological revolutions. At the Polytechnic Institute of Paris, the research quality relies on the amalgamation of their disciplinary expertise and their research infrastructure for pushing the frontiers of knowledge.
In addition to these recognised specialisations, the interdisciplinarity encouraged by the Polytechnic Institute of Paris makes it possible to approach problems from different angles. By openly bringing together their perspectives, their know-how, and their methods, researchers thus provide complementary, original, and innovative solutions to the major societal problems and scientific questions of the world.
