École des Ponts Paris Tech

École des Ponts ParisTech - created in 1747 under the name École Royale des Ponts et Chaussées -is one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in Europe. The establishment trains engineers to a high level of scientific, technical and general competency with a persistent and strong desire to innovate in the future of building and design.

Research labs

The Navier Laboratory is a mixed research unit of École des Ponts ParisTech, IFSTTAR and the CNRS who brings together more than 170 people. Within the lab, the team “Architectured Materials and Structures” tackles research in structural engineering and materials mechanics with a special focus on lightweight structures and complex geometries and it strongly supports the Design by Data program.

Fablabs, coworking and maker-spaces

The school partnered up with some of the most active and vibrant coworking spaces and fablabs in Paris to offer students the best collaborative learning experience. The program offers acces to coworking spaces and digital fabrication tools within the official international network of fablabs.
