The École Polytechnique and the Military Applications Division of CEA are launching the "Physics of High Energy Densities and Inertial Fusion" Chair to help train students in the physics of high energy densities, and to facilitate the emergence of research collaborations on topics such as fusion for energy by inertial confinement or the physics of magnetised plasmas.
A delegation of researchers and students from École Polytechnique and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which l’X is a founding member, has taken part in the 28th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP28). The Conference took place from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai.
École Polytechnique welcomed the delegates from its partners within the alliance RESCIF (Network of Excellence in Engineering Sciences of the French-speaking Community) on campus from October 12 to 14, 2023. The agenda of the meeting included the results of the entrepreneurship summer school, organized by the University Saint Joseph of Beirut in Lebanon in July 2023, as also the results of the call for projects to establish joint laboratories within the RESCIF network.
Confirming its contribution to research excellence in France and to the development of tomorrow's space technologies, École Polytechnique is participating alongside CNRS and Safran Electronics & Defense in the creation of a joint laboratory, COMHET, dedicated to improving space thruster technologies.
The WHIRLS project, which studies the role of ocean eddies on climate, is one of 37 Synergy grant projects announced on October 26 by the European Research Council (ERC). Sabrina Speich from École Normale Supérieure de Paris and researcher at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) is leading this project with three other researchers.
"Reveal", the game developed by the gamelab of the Chair "Science and Video Games", is part of a selection of video games created in France at Paris Games Week.
The Chair "Science and Video Games" Chair and the education sponsorship "Space: the sciences and challenges of space" join forces with student associations Réseau and AstronautiX to contribute to the "Explor'Espace" public astronomy festival on 3, 4 and 5 November 2023 at the Beffroi de Montrouge.
Three PhD candidates of École Polytechnique organized this year’s EuroTech winter school focused on “Accelerating Hydrogen: Towards Sustainable Production, Storage, and Conversion Technologies”. The seminar brought together over 30 PhD students from all six EuroTech partner universities across Europe from October 9-13, 2023, on campus and included a wide-ranging set of lectures and industry visits.
As part of the Erasmus Days, organized across Europe and celebrated by IP Paris, École Polytechnique's International Affairs office brought together students and staff on October 9, 2023, to take a closer look at the many opportunities for international mobility offered at l'X and to share experiences.
École Polytechnique and the University of California, Berkeley signed a Memorandum of Understanding to reinforce their international cooperation. The Polytechnique-Berkeley Research Fellowship program is one of the academic and scientific initiatives the two institutions plan to develop further. It enables École Polytechnique’s engineering students to enroll in a research internship within the laboratory of Berkeley’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) department and hence immerse themselves in the research environment in the United States.
Director-General of École Polytechnique since October 5th, 2022, Laura Chaubard will also act as acting president of the School's Board of Directors, with effect from September 17th, 2023.
