In January 2026, the training module ‘World Politics and History, Great Powers and International Relations in the 20th and 21st Centuries’ will be offered again. Organised by Manuel Dorion-Soulié, project manager for ‘Technological Sovereignty, Defence Strategy’ at Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security Studies (CIEDS) and assistant professor of American civilisation at École Polytechnique, this module will be held at École Polytechnique on three Fridays: 9, 16 and 23 January 2026. It is open to all students, doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers and staff at IP Paris and its schools, as well as staff from the French Ministry of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior.

Olivier Levillain is a senior lecturer at the SAMOVAR* laboratory at Télécom SudParis. He and his team develop tools for identifying vulnerabilities in network protocols, particularly open source implementations, confirming them, and proposing fixes to the developers of these protocols. His work could be of interest to manufacturers implementing these protocols, particularly in the defense sector - as he will explain to a wide audience at Cybersecurity and Defense conference on October 21,2025.

Olivier Rioul is a professor at the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory (LTCI*) at Télécom Paris. He also supervises Julien Béguinot, a doctoral student. Both draw on the tools of mathematical communication theory established by Claude Shannon in 1948 to measure and evaluate security flaws in unintentional (or auxiliary) communication channels, as well as to develop new standards in this field.

EKKO is the result of the work of two students from the Master’s program in Industries de Réseau et Économie Numérique (Network Industries and Digital Economy, IP Paris & Université Paris Dauphine-PSL), Kelly Claire and Anne Kondolas. Driven by a clear...

In a world where information systems are ubiquitous, defining and guaranteeing their security properties are major challenges. However, their increasing complexity and dependence on components that are often poorly controlled make it difficult to achieve these objectives. This is the context for the CERES (Cybersecurity Evaluation in Realistic Environments) project, led by Grégory Blanc, a lecturer and researcher at Télécom SudParis within the SAMOVAR laboratory, which is funded by the Defence Innovation Agency via the Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security Studies (CIEDS).

Driven by Energy4Climate and Bpifrance, the third edition of the E=mc² program confirms its role as a catalyst connecting young talents and committed companies in decarbonization. Uniting Energy for the Climate Facing the climate emergency, French...

Pascal Cotret is a senior lecturer at ENSTA's Laboratory of Information, Communication, and Knowledge Sciences and Technologies (Lab-STICC*). Through his work, he establishes secure hardware environments for software development on embedded platforms. To do this, he dissects open-source electronic components to better understand them, find flaws, and make any necessary corrections. In doing so, he paves the way for numerous industrial applications, particularly in defense.

The first edition of Welcom’IP Paris marked an energetic and colorful start to the 2025 academic year at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris).

The Engineering for Health (E4H) interdisciplinary center is organising the fourth edition of its annual forum on November 20, 2025 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 Swarm Rescue Challenge is a simulated drone swarm programming competition focusing on topics with real-world impact. Organised by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security Studies (CIEDS) and the French Ministerial agency for defence artificial intelligence (AMIAD) with the support of the French Defence innovation agency, it is open to all students from member schools of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and schools under the supervision of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces.

Manon Blanc, former doctoral student at the Computer Science Laboratory of the École Polytechnique (LIX*), Polina Perstneva, postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMAP) of the École Polytechnique, Bianca Marin Moreno, former student at École Polytechnique (X 2018), and Julie Meunier, former student at ENSTA, are among the 34 winners of the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science: A Generation of Innovators 2025 Young Talents France awards.

Michel Devoret, a former student at Télécom Paris (class of 1975), received the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics alongside his British and American colleagues John Clarke and John M Martinis. The three scientists were recognized for their discovery of the macroscopic quantum tunneling effect and the quantization of energy in an electrical circuit.
