IP Paris Defence and Security Centre: CIEDS website
09 March 2026
Created in 2021 by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris), CIEDS (Interdisciplinary Centre for Defence and Security Studies Centre) is committed to addressing the major scientific and technological challenges in the defence sector.
CIEDS operates in research, education, and innovation to promote a broad integration of defence issues across the IP Paris communities.
The CIEDS website is divided into five main sections: « Presentation », « Research », « Training », « Innovation » and « Partnerships » and contains over a hundred pages. The site provides a comprehensive overview of the defence and security activities carried out by the six IP Paris schools, including Télécom Paris, on behalf of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces and in collaboration with the defence industry.
The launch of its website marks a new milestone in enhancing the visibility of its missions, by providing clear and centralised access to all the Centre’s activities.
