On Friday, June 19, 2026, Danone and l’Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) announced the signing of a partnership within the framework of the IP Paris Connexion program. This collaboration aims to develop research projects in artificial intelligence, data science, and technologies applied to health, nutrition, and consumer behavior. Danone thus becomes the first partner from the agri-food sector to join this program.

encouraging the emergence of breakthrough technologies. In this context, IP Paris is launching the 8th edition of its Prématuration Call for Projects, operated by its Innovation Lab, that aims at identifying and supporting innovative projects emerging from its laboratories.

On Friday, June 12, 2026, the SNCF Group and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) announced the signing of a three-year partnership under the IP Paris Connexion program. This collaboration aims to strengthen synergies between the academic and industrial worlds in order to accelerate the transformation of the rail system and meet the major mobility challenges of tomorrow.

Anne Tanguy is a professor at Ecole Polytechnique and a member of the Solid Mechanics Laboratory (LMS*). She was recruited with the support of the interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S), as part of the STEP² project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR)**. Anne Tanguy uses numerical simulation to study amorphous solids—materials with a disordered atomic structure whose properties can be valuable in many fields, particularly aeronautics.

As part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris' commitment to stengthening its global outlook and enhancing its international visibility, the interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S) launched a call for proposals to support visits by world-class...

Solveig Aamlid is a Tenure-Track assistant professor recruited by École Polytechnique with the support of the interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S)**, and a member of the Laboratory of Condensed Matter for Physics (PMC*). Her highly fundamental research focuses on the study and synthesis of materials known as high-entropy oxides, with a particular emphasis on the significant disorder they exhibit at the atomic scale. The researcher explores this specific characteristic, which exerts a major influence on the functionalities of these materials.

Safa Gharbi, a PhD candidate at the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films (LPICM*), and Juan Lorenzo Santana Gonzalez, a PhD candidate at the Irradiated Solids Laboratory (LSI**), have won the local IP Paris round of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. They will represent IP Paris at the interuniversity competition on June 25, 2026, where the audience will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite candidate.

The interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S) invites you to join us on Wednesday, July 1 st, from 9 am to 12.30 pm at l'Ecole polytechnique (Lecture Hall of X-Novation Center), Palaiseau, to learn about the expertises developped at IP Paris in...

On June 2, 2026, Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) took part in the latest edition of Paris-Saclay SPRING, held at the Renault Group Technocentre in Guyancourt. Redesigned as a condensed one-day event, SPRING 120 brought together 120 scientific, technological, and economic stakeholders from the French deeptech ecosystem to foster business meetings, industrial collaborations, and technology transfer opportunities.

On May 21 and 22, 2026, Institut Polytechnique de Paris hosted the annual session of its International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) on its Palaiseau campus. This edition marked the first session chaired by Robbert Dijkgraaf, who was appointed head of the ISAB in January 2026.

The Engineering for Health (E4H) interdisciplinary center is organising the fourth edition of its annual forum on November 5, 2026 at the EDF Lab Paris Saclay. The aim of this event is to highlight current research projects in the field of life sciences and to bring together researchers, medical doctors, engineers, startups and industry to encourage new interactions.

The interdisciplinary center Materials for Society (M4S) invites you to join us on Tuesday, June 23 rd, at Ecole polytechnique (Louis Michel Room, CPHT), Palaiseau, to learn about the expertises developed at IP Paris in the field of quantum materials and...
