Since 2019, anchoring in the 21st century

In a higher education and research environment that is now globalized, highly competitive but open to cooperation, École Polytechnique is anchoring itself in the 21st century by joining forces with other leading French engineering schools within Institut Polytechnique de Paris. In keeping with its tradition of excellence and concern for the common good, the School is committed to the fight against climate change and to invest in research and innovation around digitalization, artificial intelligence and data science, the energy transition and bioengineering.
