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 associate professor 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. He presented his work at the IP Paris Cybersecurity and Defense Meetings on October 21, 2025.

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.

AI and cybersecurity are certainly a matter of algorithms and encryption keys, but they are also a matter of regulation. And this has consequences for many sectors of activity. Thomas Le Goff, Assistant Professor in the Economics and Social Sciences department at Télécom Paris and the I3* laboratory, analyzes this legal framework and contributes to its improvement. His multidisciplinary work also helps companies comply with it while making the most of the technology. He presented his work at the IP Paris Cybersecurity and Defense Conference on October 21, 2025.

At the Computer Science Laboratory of the École Polytechnique (LIX*) and as part of the ORAILIX** team, Sonia Vanier combines operational research and artificial intelligence. In her roles as chair holder, she develops reliable, efficient, and secure algorithms that provide decision support to companies and industries facing complex problems. She presented her work at the IP Paris Cybersecurity and Defense Conference on October 21, 2025.

On October 1–2, 2025, Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) and its interdisciplinary center Hi! PARIS hosted Professor Xiao-Li Meng (Harvard University), Founding Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR). His visit marked a significant milestone in developing a leading international scientific collaboration on artificial intelligence.

At the SAMOVAR laboratory at Télécom SudParis, Gregory Blanc focuses his research on detecting intrusions in communication networks. Together with his team, the senior lecturer is developing reliable and reproducible techniques for characterizing network data and detecting anomalies in these networks. This research has applications in industrial and economic settings. Gregory Blanc presented his work at the IP Paris Cybersecurity and Defense Conference on October 21, 2025.
