CIEDS - Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security

CIEDS was designed to devise and develop responses to the technological needs of the defense sector. CIEDS enjoys strong support from the French Ministry of the Armed Forces and the Defense Innovation Agency. It is involved in IP Paris's key scientific areas of research, training, and innovation, promoting a broad understanding of defense-related issues.

Many ENSTA researchers are behind projects developed within CIEDS.
