May 5, 2021 marks the bicentenary of the death of Napoleon I. This anniversary is an opportunity to revisit the ties between Napoleon Bonaparte and École Polytechnique, which owes him its military status, its flag and its motto: “For the Nation, Science, and Glory”.
This new review, dedicated to innovation and featuring researchers and their work, covers a variety of topics – from fundamental research topics all the way to research applications.
While Ecole Polytechnique's priority remains to protect the health of its entire community and to deliver outstanding teaching and research despite the ongoing health crisis, its 2021 priorities look beyond the pandemic.
Since the presentation of its report on social diversity in October 2019, L’X has strengthened its diversity task force and appointed a Diversity delegate. The school has implemented the recommendations of its report. Inspired by its origins in 1794, it will launch a vast awareness operation, Operation Monge, from January to March 2021.
On September 10 and 11, the X campus hosted a demonstration of remote piloting by satellite of an unmanned vessel off the coast of Toulon. A world premiere for this major innovation developed by SeaOwl which was attended by the French Minister of State for the Digital Transition and Electronic Communication and the Minister of Maritime Affairs.
As France continues to face an unprecedented health crisis, École Polytechnique, through its students, researchers and staff has demonstrated its willingness to give back to the community.
École Polytechnique has worked to continually adapt to the measures taken by the French authorities to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Its priority is to protect its students, researchers, and staff while ensuring the continuity of its essential objectives and preparing for the next steps.
In June 2019, École polytechnique made five bold commitents to ensure its teams, students, professors and researchers would be directly exposed to this major challenge for the future. Six months after, outstanding progress has been made in all of these five projects.
École polytechnique paid tribute to the military values at the heart of its mission to serve the Homeland, Science and Glory during a ceremony for the celebration of Sainte Barbe, l'X's holy patroness.
On October 14, Eric Labaye submitted his report on social inclusion to the Ministers for the Armed Forces and for Higher Education, following the assignment with which they entrusted him last June. This report proposes 10 measures to improve the School’s social diversity and double the number of scholarship students.
Eric Labaye, President of École Polytechnique, joined 79 heads of higher education institutions and 1,000 teacher-researchers to call for the training of all students in ecological and climate issues, in an article published on September 14 in the “Journal de Dimanche” (JDD).
On the occasion of its international scientific symposium on Friday June 7, 2019 as part of its 225th anniversary celebrations, École Polytechnique is making five major commitments to sustainable development and energy transition.
