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.
