The second CLIFIRIUM conference (Climate finance, risk and uncertainty modelling) was held from 09 to 11 October 2023 at the Banque de France and the French Banking Federation. It was organised by the "Stress-Test: Risk Management and Financial Steering" Chair, headed by Emmanuel Gobet (professor at the École Polytechnique) at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP*) and supported by BNP Paribas.
The "Sustainable Development" and "Sustainable Energies" teaching and research chairs, both supported by EDF, are celebrating their 20th and 15th anniversaries, a long-term commitment to the ecological and energy transition.
For the 5th year running, the Chair “Econophysics and Complex Systems” is receiving applications for the CFM Women in Quantitative Finance scholarship, which provides funding for a doctoral thesis pursued by a top candidate. Natascha Hey, the 2022 laureate, describes her work on video.
Crédit Agricole S.A., École Polytechnique and the École Polytechnique Foundation are launching the Chaire "Trustworthy and Responsible Artificial Intelligence". Its aim is to explore and define new methods for designing Artificial Intelligence systems that are ethical, robust, secure, frugal, and explainable.
The "Data Science and Industrial Processes" Chair, in partnership with UM6P, co-directed at École Polytechnique by Eric Moulines and supported by the OCP Group, helped organize the "Winter School - Generative AI" conference held from February 26 to March 1, 2024 in Morocco.
Ten young researchers, most of them from École Polytechnique’s laboratories, presented their thesis topics at this event organized at École polytechnique by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which École polytechnique is a founding member. Marie Sigallon and Elie Kadoche have been selected to represent IP Paris at the national semi-final to be held in April 2024.
Every year, the CNRS medals are awarded to researchers and staff who have made an outstanding contribution to the institution's dynamism and reputation.
The H.E.S.S. observatory, which involves the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory (LLR) at École polytechnique and Institut Polytechnique de Paris, has captured very high-energy photons from the SS 433 microquasar. This indicates that particles are being accelerated at an extreme rate. Scientists have been able to pinpoint the precise location of this acceleration, a first that will help to unravel its mechanisms. The results have just been published in Science magazine.
A team from the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory (LOB*) has obtained proof-of-principle for the classification of kidney stones using multi-photon microscopy combined with polarimetry. This optical method, which has been published in the journal ACS Photonics, could open up new prospects for biomineral analysis and improved patient management.A team from the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory (LOB*) has obtained proof-of-principle for the classification of kidney stones using multi-photon microscopy combined with polarimetry.

A team from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX) has published an article in Biophysical Journal describing measurements of the mechanical properties of cells. An image of their experiment is featured on the cover. Here is what it looks like.
Josselin Garnier, researcher at the Centre for Applied Mathematics (CMAP) and Sandrine Bony, Research Director at the CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique within the Laboratory of Dynamic Meteorology (LMD) are among the 18 scientists newly elected to the French Academy of Sciences.
The École Polytechnique and the Military Applications Division of CEA are launching the "Physics of High Energy Densities and Inertial Fusion" Chair to help train students in the physics of high energy densities, and to facilitate the emergence of research collaborations on topics such as fusion for energy by inertial confinement or the physics of magnetised plasmas.
