As part of their advanced studies, third-year Cycle Ingénieur Polytechnicien students can opt for experimental mechanics courses. Nine sessions allow them to develop a scientific project at the cutting edge of theory and practice. Twenty projects are currently underway, several of which focus on en…

Fiona O’Brien, a student in École Polytechnique’s Master of Science & Technology program “Economics for Smart Cities and Climate Policy”, was invited to present her joint research with Emma Jung, a master's student at TUM, at the TRA (Transport Research Arena). This year, Europe’s largest conferenc…

Organised by doctoral students from the École polytechnique, the first French edition of the Congress of Young Researchers in Applied Mathematics took place from 27 to 29 October and brought together nearly 120 participants and several renowned speakers.

Three years after graduation, most École Polytechnique Bachelor of Science alumni are pursuing further studies, particularly in science or economics through master’s or PhD programs. Those already in the workforce enjoy rapid job placement, competitive salaries, and strong international mobility.

Ranked at the top of French engineering Schools of excellence, Ecole Polytechnique provides its engineering new graduates with an average first employment gross salary that is almost 45% higher than that of other engineering French Schools. Almost a third the Cycle Ingénieur Polytechnicien Program…

A virtual ceremony took place on July 17th 2020 in order to celebrate the graduation and success of this first Bachelor of Science class. This program, a pioneer in France, has attracted talented students with international profiles, confirming the competitive level of École Polytechnique and Franc…

Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions, six second-year Cycle Ingénieur Polytechnicien students participated in the British Model NATO, held on February 25 at the British Foreign Office. This first French participation in the British Model NATO took place as part of the Model NATO cours…

The survey of 1st job for engineers graduating from X in 2022 confirms their high employability in a context marked by a slowdown in job creation after the very strong rebound in 2021 following the recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The First Job Survey of the class of 2019 confirms the diversity of graduates' career paths and the fact that the vast majority of 2024 graduates of the Cycle ingénieur polytechnicien find employment or continue their studies in France six months after graduation. Two new features in this edition o…

First winner of the "CFM Women in Quantitative Finance" thesis grant from the "Econophysics & Complex systems" Chair, Cécilia Aubrun is a young researcher at the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX*) under the direction of Michael Benzaquen, holder of the Chair. Thanks to this …

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 …

Plasmas represent a state of matter in which electrons are torn from the atoms with which they are usually associated in solids, liquids or gases. This is known as an ionised medium, in which interactions between electric charges give rise to novel properties. From the heart of stars to fluorescent…

A team from the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory (LOB*) has identified structures called G-quadruplexes in the genome of archaea, single-celled organisms. This discovery opens up new perspectives on the study of the role of these structures and the evolution of life.
