On Friday, March 13, 2026, the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025 of ENSTA Paris’s engineering program and its Advanced Masters® programs took place, marking a highlight in the life of the ENSTA community.

The ceremony was presided over by Ms. Estelle Iacona, Executive Director of ENSTA, in the presence of Mr. Philippe Wolf, CEO of Amentum and class patron, Mr. Kamel Ben Saad, Director of the National Engineering School of Tunis, Ms. Hedia Chaker, Coordinator of the Advanced Technologies Program, and Mr. Laurent Thieffry, President of ENSTA Alumni.

In her opening remarks,Estelle Iacona noted that through this solemn graduation ceremony, the students of the Class of 2025 were officially joining the alumni community of the new ENSTA—which boasts more than 20,000 graduates—and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, thereby weaving their personal journeys into a shared history. She also praised the considerable work represented by these years of study—a combination of effort, high standards, and perseverance—to acquire a resolutely scientific and technical education, where engineering is viewed as a lever serving key sectors of national sovereignty.
