Solids Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) - a joint research unit CNRS, École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris

The project was initiated by the mechanical engineering departments of the two institutions, with the aim of strengthening academic and scientific collaboration, notably through a thesis co-supervision program. This program enables students to be admitted to and take courses at both institutions, leading to PhD degrees from both.

The partnership provides for the admission of one PhD student per year from each side. Students eligible for this program are those enrolled in the PhD in Engineering, Mechanics and Energy program at the Doctoral Shool of IP Paris.

CU Boulder excels in engineering and research: the College of Engineering and Applied Science ranks among the top 20 public engineering programs in the U.S., according to U.S. News & World Report. This academic reputation is in line with the strategic ambitions of IP Paris, especially in the fields of renewable energies and sustainable technologies.
