Telecom SudParis reserach activities

Our research strategy draws on the expertise of faculty members who produce high-quality, relevant research.

Our mission: respond to the challenges of the future while supporting the digital transformation of society, the economy, and companies, through ambitious scientific projects.

Telecom SudParis faculty members undertake high-level research, responding to major challenges in contemporary society. In close connection with industrial stakeholders, research is mainly performed at the school’s SAMOVAR laboratory. Faculty members contribute to four interdisciplinary centers at Institut Polytechnique de Paris: Hi!Paris for artificial intelligence (fr), Energy 4 Climate for environmental aspects of digital technology, the Interdisciplinary Center for Defense and Security (fr), and SPIRALS.
