IP Paris interdisciplinary centers

By sharing their perspectives, expertise, and methods in a spirit of openness, researchers are able to provide original and innovative solutions to the major challenges of our century. Researchers from ENSTA's two campuses play a leading role in these interdisciplinary centers, particularly CIEDS and CIMO.
