Major Projects

To ensure a coherent policy to practice bridge, we are undergoing profound changes on an institutional level. Key to these changes are; the new engineering curriculum - which will be fully implemented at the beginning of 2018, the construction of the new Saclay campus in 2017 and assuming our leadership position within the organisation of Université Paris-Saclay.

Additionally, we are:

building a business model that ensures economic balance and resource development
extend our digital transformation to become a leading digital tech institute; specifically through the development of EdTech and innovative pedagogical tools
developing partnerships and alliances to enrich our training offer, enhance our research and reinforce our leadership within Université Paris-Saclay and on an international level.
