Sonio, the result of mathematical research carried out at the Centre for Applied Mathematics (CMAP), is developing a solution to support practitioners in the conduct of fetal ultrasound and antenatal diagnosis. Automated with the help of artificial intelligence, this tool aims to detect anomalies in real time, or after the examination to remove any doubt. Launched in 2020, its acquisition by the medical subsidiary of Korean giant Samsung has just been finalized.
Catherine Rolland is project manager of the GameLab of the "Science and Video Games" Chair at the École polytechnique, for which she is preparing the new programme. She has been involved in a number of projects on education about the medium. In autumn 2023 she was named one of the 100 Cultural Women of the Year for her commitment to video games.
Launched by the SNCF group, the École polytechnique and the Fondation de l'École polytechnique, this new teaching and research chair will develop innovative AI-based technologies to improve the quality and sustainability of transport. It will involve Polytechnique engineering students in the challenges of sustainable mobility.
Theoretical physicist Carlota Andres and economist Julien Combe are the winners of two ERC Starting Grants supported by Ecole Polytechnique. This funding from the European Research Council helps early-career researchers to build their teams and pursue their most ambitious ideas.
The survey of 1st job for engineers graduating from X in 2022 confirms their high employability in a context marked by a slowdown in job creation after the very strong rebound in 2021 following the recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The start of the new academic year for the Cycle ingénénieur polytechnicien program class of 2023 (X23) is marked by the launch of the course “Engineering Sustainability, s'ingénier pour durer”, led by economist Céline Guivarch. Featuring some real teaching innovations, the course was launched on Monday with a sound walk around the campus.
Organized by the French Mathematical Games Federation on August 25 and 26 at l'X, the event brought together over 500 competitors from 15 different countries. In hosting the event, l'X illustrates two of the principles that animated its founding fathers 230 years ago: recruiting the best scientific talent from all horizons, and delivering scientific and technical training of excellence based on solid mathematical foundations.
Orange Group, Société Générale Côte d'Ivoire, INP-HB, ENSEA, École Polytechnique and the Foundation of École Polytechnique are renewing the ‘Data Science Institute’ international Chair to continue its international teaching programme in data science. The renewal was celebrated on 8 July 2024.

École polytechnique's traditional participation in the July 14 military parade involved 246 Cycle ingénieur polytechnicien program students, slightly fewer than in previous years, for a ceremony that was scaled back due to preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Placed under the dual theme of the 80th anniversary of the Liberation and Olympism, the 2024 parade was particularly resonant with the Polytechnique spirit.
In early 2024, Charles Baroud, professor and researcher at the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (LadHyX*), was awarded an ERC Advanced Grants for his Melcart project. Acronym for Mechanical Characterization and Stimulation of Microtissues, this research project aims to develop technologies and knowledge around mechanobiology, with a view to numerous applications in engineering, pharmacology and health.
