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.

Through the books they publish, the ENSTA Press pursue three main objectives:

  • Contributing to the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge related to the school’s fields of research and teaching
  • Promoting the excellence of the teaching provided
  • Making high-level scientific publications accessible to a wider audience

The publications are divided into three distinct collections:

  • Les Cours, featuring textbooks and exercise books
  • La Recherche, bringing together theses, habilitation dissertations, reports and other outstanding student work
  • Les Actes, including the winning short stories from the annual competition organised by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, as well as conference and symposium proceedings

Each publication is carefully selected by an editorial committee made up of ENSTA faculty members and researchers. Their role is to review the content of manuscripts and assess their quality and relevance prior to 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.
