Les Presses de l'Ensta

Since the 1970s, ENSTA Press has published books in both French and English, primarily in the fields of science and engineering.

A travers les ouvrages édités, les Presses de l’ENSTA servent trois objectifs principaux :

  • Participer à la diffusion des connaissances scientifiques techniques liées aux domaines de recherche et d’enseignement de l’école

  • Valoriser l’excellence des enseignements proposés

  • Rendre accessible à un large public des ouvrages de haut niveau scientifique

Les ouvrages publiés sont répartis en trois collections distinctes :

  • Les Cours, publication des manuels de cours et d’exercices

  • La Recherche, rassemblant les thèses, les habilitations, les rapports et autres travaux d’élèves remarquables

  • Les Actes, comprenant les nouvelles lauréates du concours annuel organisé par l’Institut Polytechnique de Paris, les actes de congrès, de colloques. 

    Chaque publication est sélectionnée avec soin par un comité éditorial rassemblant des enseignants-chercheurs ENSTA. Ils ont pour tâche d’examiner le contenu des manuscrits afin d’en évaluer la qualité et la pertinence avant publication.

Concours de nouvelles avancées

Created in 2010 by ENSTA, one of the five founding members of Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris), the Concours de nouvelles avancées aims to bring science and literature closer together.

Co-organized with École polytechnique from 2017 onwards, the competition has been organized since 2022 by the International Center for French Language and Culture of IP Paris.

Open to both French and international participants, the competition invites entrants to write a short story in French on a topic related to science and the societal issues associated with it.
