The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) is a public higher education and research institution that brings together five prestigious French engineering schools: École Polytechnique, ENSTA Paris, ENSAE Paris, Télécom Paris and Télécom SudParis. The five founding institutions embody experience, history and roots, positioning IP Paris as a leading education and research institution in France and internationally.
Located 20 km from Paris, the IP Paris campus on the plateau of Saclay offers all the necessary facilities for students and faculty members. Thanks to its privileged geographical situation and its accessibility by public transports, the students and faculty can benefit from the economic dynamism and the cultural wealth of the city of Paris.
IP Paris has set up 10 research and education communities composed of faculty members of its five institutions. They collectively define the content of the training programmes as well as the research projects conducted by IP Paris. Conducted in partnership with companies, the research programmes are organised around five priority areas: energy and climate change, security, digital, technology, and health.
