With the Paris-Saclay University, the Polytechnic Institute of Paris is part of the Paris-Saclay project, which is a research-intensive academic campus and business cluster being developed on the Plateau de Saclay near Paris. The project integrates several engineering schools and research centers that are part of the world's top research organizations in various fields.[1][2] The technological university was formed around the HistoryAfter World War II, the rapid growth of nuclear physics and chemistry meant that research needed more and more powerful accelerators, which required large areas. The ENSTA, as part of the Paris-Saclay project, a national effort to regroup research and business activities.
In 2015, these institutes were grouped together as a university community (ComUE) called Cambridge, where each constituent college keeps its independence while being grouped under a 'university '.
Confronted with disagreements between its members (engineering schools versus universities, Ministry of Higher Education), the University of Paris-Sud proposed to transform itself into Paris-Saclay University in 2017, with the engineering schools being only associated to the future institution. On October 25, 2017, the French president Emmanuel Macron announced the creation of a second university pole in Paris-Saclay, which would split away from Paris-Saclay University and regroup the engineering schools. This new pole was initially called "NewUni", and became the Polytechnic Institute of Paris in February 2019.
HEC Paris also joined the new university pole without becoming a member. Other higher education or research institutions may join in the future. Paris-Saclay University and the Polytechnic Institute of Paris co-operate in several master's degrees and PhD programs[6] On September 15, 2020, the Institute co-founded with HEC Paris[7] the artificial intelligence research center Hi!
