The Institut Polytechnique de Paris launches a review

I am pleased to share with you the first edi­tion of the review launched by the Insti­tut Poly­tech­nique de Par­is: Poly­tech­nique Insights.

Draw­ing its strength from two cen­tur­ies of expert­ise in sci­ence and tech­no­logy stem­ming from its 5 found­ing Schools (École Poly­tech­nique, ENSTA Par­is, ENSAE Par­is, Tele­com Par­is, and Tele­com Sud­Par­is), the Insti­tut Poly­tech­nique de Par­is trains the most bril­liant and innov­at­ive minds to help them become agents of change and respons­ible lead­ers. Our train­ing pro­grams equip them with in-depth sci­entif­ic know­ledge, in par­tic­u­lar thanks to a priv­ileged access to world-class infra­struc­tures and a dynam­ic research eco­sys­tem. Poly­tech­nique Insights is in line with this sci­entif­ic train­ing of excel­lence and embod­ies the huge poten­tial of our research to help foster innov­a­tion. I am happy to begin 2021 with the launch of this new review, which rep­res­ents our strong desire to high­light the admir­able work of our teach­ers and research­ers, along­side oth­er stake­hold­ers of our eco­sys­tem includ­ing alumni, research and indus­tri­al partners.

Poly­tech­nique Insights aspires to have a role in expand­ing IP Par­is out­reach in France and world­wide, in order to pos­i­tion ourselves as a major aca­dem­ic and research insti­tu­tion with a strong socio-eco­nom­ic impact. This online review con­trib­utes to the ini­ti­at­ives that will allow our coun­try to become a key play­er in sci­entif­ic pro­gress and soci­et­al well-being. Fur­ther­more, it stands out for its rig­or, tone neut­ral­ity and exclu­sion of any form of ideologies.

Poly­tech­nique Insights is in line with our sci­entif­ic train­ing of excel­lence and embod­ies the huge poten­tial of our research to help foster innovation.

This first issue helps us immerse ourselves in essen­tial sub­jects, such as the ongo­ing health crisis, per­son­al­ized medi­cine, the neces­sary decar­bon­a­tion of the avi­ation industry or bioplastics. This edi­tion is test­a­ment to the rich­ness of our research, guided by sci­entif­ic integ­rity, inter­dis­cip­lin­ar­ity, and the gen­er­al interest of all.

I hope that the sci­entif­ic advances presen­ted in this first issue of Poly­tech­nique Insights will help fuel your intel­lec­tu­al curi­os­ity and your taste for innovation.

On this occa­sion, I would like to cel­eb­rate our dynam­ic eco­sys­tem and thank the teams who worked on the launch of the review through­out the past year, the Edit­or­i­al Com­mit­tee and the teach­ers and research­ers, as well as the cor­por­ate spon­sors that show us their trust by sup­port­ing Poly­tech­nique Insights. Many stake­hold­ers were essen­tial to the com­ple­tion of this new, ambi­tious pro­ject, one that can be added to the list of the achieve­ments by the Insti­tut Poly­tech­nique de Paris.
