The ParisTech network

The complementary nature of the schools' teaching and research fields provides students, researchers and all partners (institutions and companies) with an exceptional network that allows for unique transdisciplinarity. Internationally, ParisTech is the preferred partner of many major foreign universities through partnership agreements and targeted joint actions.

5 common values unite the Schools of the network

• Excellence based on the French “Grandes Ecoles” model
• International openness
• Social openness
• Innovation, the key to the future success of our Schools
• Solidarity: class sizes are kept intentionally small to allow students to interact closely together and with teaching staff, both during and after their studies.
