Organized by École Polytechnique student association dedicated to ecology, this Ecology and Living Together Week (SEVE) took place from November 17 to 21. It is part of the School's sustainability strategy, as formalized in its Climate Plan.
Created in 2008 and supported ever since by EDF, the École Polytechnique's Sustainable Energy Chair, headed by François Willaime, expert fellow at the CEA and lecturer at École Polytechnique, has established itself as a major player in training future experts in low-carbon energy, particularly nuclear energy.
École Polytechnique and Docaposte, through its subsidiary Index Education, publisher of PRONOTE, are launching “OrienteXpress,” a research project aimed at improving guidance for young people toward scientific fields. This project is part of École Polytechnique's ongoing policy of promoting diversity and inclusion.
École Polytechnique and Orange Group have signed a strategic partnership to strengthen research, innovation, and training in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. With this major partnership, École Polytechnique is accelerating its commitment to two key areas of digital sovereignty.
At the Laboratory of Condensed Matter for Physics (PMC*), Fabian Cadiz's team is studying ultra-thin semiconductors in which the spin of electrons can be controlled individually. This fundamental research, part of the OneSPIN project, is funded by the European Research Council.
As part of its equal opportunities initiative, École Polytechnique offers an online scientific enrichment programme designed to boost the confidence of secondary school pupils with a passion for science and encourage them to pursue excellence in their scientific studies.
Among the 86 post-preparatory engineering schools, École Polytechnique tops Le Figaro's rankings, thanks to its high employment rate and starting salaries.
Led by Philippe Drobinski, professor at École Polytechnique, research director at the CNRS's Laboratory of Dynamic Meteorology and director of the Energy4Climate (E4C) Interdisciplinary Centre, the Chair in Technological Challenges for Responsible Energy, supported by TotalEnergies, is assisting in the development of an experimental agri-photovoltaic (AgriPV) installation initiated by E4C. The aim of this full-scale demonstrator is to reconcile agricultural production with photovoltaic electricity generation.
For the 2025/2026 academic year, ten international students at École Polytechnique have received the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship from the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. Awarded to outstanding foreign students, these scholarships highlight both the institution’s global reputation and the exceptional caliber of its international cohort.

From 21 to 24 October, Seoul host one of the most important events in the electronics and IT industry calendar: the Korea Electronics Show (KES). During the event, Tinental, a start-up founded by Elin Flyger and Nicolò Luppi, received the ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) Innovation Award. This green technology company aims to reduce energy consumption at industrial sites using artificial intelligence.
Using high-intensity lasers, an international team involving researchers from the Applied Optics Laboratory (LOA*) and the Intense Lasers Laboratory (LULI*) will probe the behavior of light at an unprecedented level, at the limits of current quantum electrodynamics theory. The project has just been awarded a Synergy Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
This October 8th, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to a trio of physicists for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling...
