CentraleSupélec has a research center that every year hosts more than 500 doctoral students on the three campuses (Gif-sur-Yvette, Metz and Rennes) in its 16 research units (independent and joint research units, including a collaboration with the CNRS) and through a mathematics federation.
Within these research units, which represent 1,100 research employees, subjects of research are explored within complex systems:
- Materials and Processes
- Mechanics, Energetics and Combustion
- Applied Physics
- Applied Mathematics
- Technology and IT Systems
- Signal Processing, Automation
- Electrical Engineering and Electronics
- Industrial Engineering, Economics and Management
To navigate the complexities of systems and address the following seven societal issues:
- Energy
- Environment
- Health and biotechnology
- Information and knowledge
- Sustainable buildings and regions
- Transport and mobility
- Economic mutations
The research policy of CentraleSupélec and the research laboratories is focused on adopting an interdisciplinary approach with the aim of encouraging synergies between laboratories, while maintaining a continuum between upstream research and research in association with industries and services. CentraleSupélec provides its doctoral students with both a high-level scientific education and a guarantee of professional insertion through its strong ties with companies.
