Communiqué

One hundred years after their first academic exchange, ENS and Princeton University Graduate School are celebrating a new agreement between the two institutions.

Professor Rodney D. Priestley, Dean of Princeton University Graduate School and co-signatory of the new agreement in Paris, explains the importance of international partnerships in scientific education, the challenges facing graduate schools and universities today, and how his year in Paris at ESPCI-PSL impacted his life.

June 29th, thirty students from the École normale supérieure and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) will participate in a collaborative workshop developed by Columbia University. The idea is to better understand how youth throughout the world influence, and are influenced by, a rapidly changing world.

Starting on May 17, following the national campaigns undertaken in secondary and higher education, ENS is making Covid-19 self-testing kits available to its students, lecturers, researchers and staff members, which will facilitate the epidemiological monitoring of its community and help its activities run smoothly until summer.

EMBL recently signed a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ecole normale supérieure – one of the most selective and renowned graduate schools in France – and the prestigious research and academic institution Collège de France, which was established in Paris in 1530.

L'École normale supérieure accueille 3 des 34 projets sélectionnés sur une base extrêmement compétitive par l’ERC, un résultat remarquable.

Il s’agit du projet HiSCORE de Geoffrey Bodenhausen au département de chimie, du projet  MICRO-COPS d'Antoine Triller à l’Institut de Biologie, et du projet LiquOrg de Frédéric Pincet au laboratoire de Physique.
