<page method="xml-texts" num="4"><![CDATA[Foreword “Ten years after its creation, CentraleSupélec is expanding its international reach and multiplying cooperation initiatives around the world.” A year marked by the celebration of Centrale- Supélec’s tenth anniversary and the 40th anniversary of the Metz campus, 2025 was also shaped by major geopolitical upheavals. These developments have been both a source of concern, as global balances become increa- singly fragile, and a source of opportunity for the School . In this context, CentraleSupélec has seized a new window of opportunity to strengthen its international presence, notably by concluding new partnerships with leading Asian universities and by recruiting top-level researchers leaving the United States. In 2025, CentraleSupélec therefore continued its transformation into a world-class School of Engineering by accelerating the implementa- tion of its strategic plan for the coming decade, guided by two ambitions that are more relevant and necessary than ever : Doubling the number of graduates to meet the immense global demand for highly skilled engineers ; Addressing, through education, research, and innovation, the three major challenges of this century that align with the School’s core strengths : the energy and ecological transitions, the defense of our industrial and digital sovereignties, and the improvement of health and quality of life. None of these ambitions would be achievable without the continued exceptional com- mitment from the entire CentraleSupélec community. I would therefore first like to acknowledge the work accomplished by all the administrative and technical staff working across the School’s departments, as well as all by our faculty members and researchers and to thank them sincerely. Thank you for supporting, with such professiona- lism, talent, and enthusiasm, the School’s growth and the success of our students. My thanks also go to our Board of Directors for their unwavering commitment. Finally, I would like to thank our corporate partners and alumni donors who, through their support of the CentraleSupélec Foundation, provide invaluable backing for all of the School’s activi- ties and for the development of its own resources so essential in today’s challenging budgetary context. It is this collective commitment that has led to the progress highlighted in this report. And that progress has been particularly significant.

<page method="xml-texts" num="5"><![CDATA[In education, first of all, 2025 was marked by the launch of six new specialized engineering programs , with the first cohorts of students welcomed on the Rennes and Metz campuses. The year also of our Bachelor’s programs , which already bring together more than 500 students and have placed CentraleSupélec second in the 2025 ranking of the best Bachelor’s programs by Le Figaro Étudiant. With the same level of academic rigor as our general engineering program, these new programs represent a powerful driver of growth in the School’s student body , attracting international talent drawn to degrees similar to those offered by leading universities such as MIT, Stanford, and EPFL. At the same time, the initiatives led by the Center for Diversity and Inclusion have continued to expand to open CentraleSupélec to a wider range of profiles that remain underrepresented in scientific fields, particularly women and scholarship students. This momentum will continue in 2026, building on our international strengths : the global reputation of Université Paris-Saclay, ranked 13th in the Shanghai Ranking ; the employability of our graduates, which places us at the top among engineering schools in the Times Higher Education global rankings; and the forthcoming opening of our Paris campus. The mobilization of our strengths in education, research, and innovation around our three strategic priorities has also led to remarkable achievements. All these achievements, and many others, allow us to face the new challenges ahead in 2026 with confidence. In particular, the creation of the CentraleSupélec Transformation Department , will be a key asset in continuing the deployment of our strategic plan, structured around nine initiatives covering all of the School’s activities. 2026 will also be an important year for our infrastructure, with the delivery of the Sébastienne Guyot building in Paris and the completion of the Breguet building in Gif . The unwavering commitment of the CentraleSupélec community will undoubtedly remain our greatest strength as we move confidently toward the future . Ranked first in the ChangeNOW / Les Échos ranking of engineering schools most committed to the ecological and social transition , CentraleSupélec has distinguished itself both through its research ranking third in France for the number of ANR projects related to ecological transition and through its entrepreneurship, as the leading engineering school in France for the creation of Greentech startups . ( according to the 2025 study by Astérion Ventures ). Major progress has also been made in defending industrial and digital sovereignty , illustrated by the success of the IBIS project, an intelligent battery expected to transform the French electric vehicle industry. The School has also confirmed its leadership in artificial intelligence with the creation of the LIAGORA laboratory dedicated to generative AI for industry, as well as the launch of EuroBert, a sovereign text-encoding model designed for information retrieval. This excellence is also reflected in entrepreneurship, with Université Paris-Saclay ranking first in France for the creation of Deeptech startups, nearly half of which originate from CentraleSupélec and account for the majority of fundraising In the field of healthcare, the School has continued to develop major structuring projects , such as the creation of the Cancer Data Science research unit in partnership with Gustave Roussy, Inserm and Université Paris-Saclay, as well as the coordination by the Biotechnology Chair in Pomacle of the Protein4Impact project, aimed at developing new sources of protein as part of the European “Farm to Fork” strategy . Once again, my heartfelt thanks to every one of you ! 5 2025 Annual Report • CentraleSupélec]]></page>

In 2025, support from partner companies (ArianeGroup, Datadog, PwC, Qube Research & Technologies (QRT), Safran, and Spie Batignolles) enabled 10 Sébastienne Guyot scholarships to be awarded. Each scholarship amounts to €8,000 per year over the three years of the engineering program , and is granted based on financial need, motivation, and academic excellence . The Foundation allocated more than €60k to support student associations , enabling students to engage in a wide range of sports, cultural, artistic, and social activities, while developing essential skills . This financial support complements the assistance provided by the School through the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC) , which covers, among other things, membership fees for the Student Union for engineering students receiving CROUS scholarships (levels 1 to 7) throughout their three-year program . In 2025, in partnership with CentraleSupélec Alumni and We Are One, a peer-mentoring program was launched between engineering students and recent graduates. This program supports students in reflecting on their expectations and career paths . Rolled out across the Paris-Saclay, Metz, and Rennes campuses, this initiative has already benefited 100 students .
