Three student teams from École Polytechnique’s Master's program STEEM (Energy Environment: Science, Technology & Management) participated in the international competition EuroTeQaThon 2025, which was organized at Eindhoven University of Technology from June 14 to 16, 2025. The event brought together over twenty teams of students from the EuroTeQ Engineering University alliance, of which École Polytechnique is a member.
By analyzing over 1,500 races, including those at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, scientists from the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX*) shed light on the importance of racing tactics in individual sprint performance. The study was published in The International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport.
The Structural Biology of the Cell Laboratory (BIOC*) is celebrating its fiftieth year. From its beginnings as a biochemical laboratory, it now deals with biological issues on many different scales: atomic, molecular and cellular.
The Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which École Polytechnique is a founding member, is ranked 41st worldwide and 2nd in France in the QS 2026 ranking of world universities. The QS ranking covers 1,500 universities in 106 higher education systems.
The internationally renowned Slovenian mathematician Igor Klep is joining the Laboratory of Computer Science (LIX) and the Center for Theoretical Physics (CPHT) at École Polytechnique as a Gaspard Monge Visiting Professor. A professor of mathematics at both the University of Ljubljana and the University of Primorska in Slovenia, Igor Klep is collaborating on quantum information theory research with the PhIQus research group, led by Marc-Olivier Renou, INRIA Saclay Junior Professor Chair and affiliated researcher at LIX and CPHT.
Researcher at the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST*), a laboratory of which he is also director, Arnak Dalalyan has just received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) for a research project on generative artificial intelligence.
Start-ups created by École Polytechnique's alumni or supported by X-UP, École Polytechnique's incubator, still account for a quarter of the list of 40 French Next40 start-ups, which has been thoroughly revised in 2025.
Of the eight start-ups incubated at École Polytechnique and present at VivaTech 2025, five have been selected for the Tech for Change 2025 program, which recognizes start-ups helping to address major contemporary environmental and societal challenges. Six École Polytechnique-incubated start-ups feature in VivaTech's Top 100 most promising start-ups in Europe.
Stefania Cacovich, a researcher at the Institut Photovoltaïque d'Île-de-France (IPVF*), is to receive a bronze medal from the CNRS. Laurent Bopp of the Dynamic Meteorology Laboratory (LMD*) has been awarded a silver medal.
