On December 1, Thierry Coulhon, acting Chairman of the Board of Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) since September 27, 2023, presented his first report to French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. This note is the result of the president's concerted work with the directors of the IP Paris member schools, and his many meetings with the administrative and academic staff, students and partners of IP Paris. These discussions will continue, and a second, more operationally-oriented strategic note will be issued in the first quarter 2024.
