Bienvenue sur l'Institut Polytechnique de Paris

From June 17 to 20, 2026, Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) took part in the 10th edition of VivaTech, held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. This anniversary edition brought together 200,000 visitors, 4,500 exhibitors and more than 15,000 startups from 165 countries.

On June 24, 2026, ENSTA and Institut Polytechnique de Paris inaugurated an air-sea testing pool on the engineering school's Brest campus. Particularly innovative in its design, it allows for the testing of cooperation between drones and marine observation systems, while eliminating the risks inherent to initial trials on the high seas. Co-funded by the State and local authorities, the facility addresses academic, industrial, civil, and national defense needs, as well as national sovereignty challenges.

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.
