The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) was officially founded on May 31, 2019, in response to the ambition expressed by the President of the Republic to create a higher education and research cluster consisting of "an alliance of the Grandes Écoles already or soon to be located on the Saclay plateau, including the École polytechnique, ENSTA Paris, ENSAE Paris, Télécom Paris and Télécom SudParis, delivering all levels of degrees, deeply integrating its curricula, pooling its strengths and equipment, and which will have to find original ways to evolve towards an MIT, a Caltech or a French EPFL".

Hi! PARIS, the interdisciplinary center for data analysis and artificial intelligence created by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC Paris, is organizing the AI symposium from June 8 to 10 at ENSAE Paris. This scientific event is open to...

The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) has launched Polytechnique Insights, an online journal dedicated to understanding the challenges of research and innovation in the fields of science and technology, and in particular their socio-economic and environmental implications.

ENSAE Paris and CREST are respectively associate members and associate laboratories of the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation.

ENSAE Paris and CREST are members of the Institute of Public Policy (IPP) created by the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and developed in the framework of a scientific partnership between PSE and the Group of National Schools of Economics and Statistics (GENES). The IPP aims to promote the quantitative analysis and evaluation of public policies using the most recent methods in economic research.

The Interdisciplinary Centers of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris combine the expertise of our researchers and our partners to address major societal problems through the complementary points of view and methodologies of each discipline. By crossing their views, their know-how and their methods in a spirit of openness, researchers bring original and innovative solutions to the major challenges of our century.

For three centuries, the five schools of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) have contributed to major scientific discoveries and technological revolutions. The quality of research at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris is based on the pooling of their disciplinary expertise and their research infrastructures to push back the limits of knowledge.

The Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST) is a joint research unit bringing together researchers in quantitative social sciences and applied mathematics from the CNRS, ENSAE Paris, and the economics department of the École Polytechnique. This interdisciplinary center dedicated to quantitative methods applied to social sciences is composed of four poles: economics, statistics, finance-insurance and sociology. The Palaiseau laboratories are located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the École Polytechnique building, thus facilitating exchanges between students and faculty.

ENSAE benefits from a first-rate research environment. It shares its premises with the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST), to which ENSAE is historically attached. More broadly, it is part of the scientific framework of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the Plateau de Saclay. The joint scientific project of ENSAE and CREST in this environment is characterized by research at the highest European level in their fields of excellence (statistics and data science, economics, sociology, finance and insurance), and by their culture of interdisciplinarity based on the modeling approach and the constant back-and-forth between theories and data.

Doctoral training at ENSAE Paris is organized in two doctoral schools: the multidisciplinary doctoral school of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the Hadamard Mathematics doctoral school.
