CentraleSupélec is a top French graduate engineering school of Paris-Saclay University in Gif-sur-Yvette, France. It was established on 1 January 2015, as a result of a strategic merger between two prestigious grandes écoles in France, École Centrale Paris and Supélec. It is one of the constituent members of Paris-Saclay University. It is a key founding member of the Paris-Saclay University, the TIME (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) network and also the CESAER association of European engineering schools.

The CentraleSupélec Research Centre will take its place at the heart of investigation, exploration and knowledge creation for the world’s most demanding societal and technological challenges. This work encompasses the whole of the engineering and systems sciences; with multidisciplinary projects established in close partnership within academic and business network, and in close and consistent dialogue with the wider economic sector. University’s continued focus will be developing innovative responses with an international scope within the 7 core areas on our agenda:
- 18 laboratories
- Mathematical Federation
