Ecole Centrale Paris (ECP, or commonly known as Centrale) is a French graduate institute of engineering and science. It is also known by its original name École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures.
Founded in 1829, it is among the oldest engineering schools in France and is one of the most selective grandes écoles. Since the 19th century, its specific model of engineering education has inspired the foundation of similar schools, such as École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
In 2015, École Centrale Paris merged with Supélec to form CentraleSupélec, which is a member of the new Université Paris-Saclay.
Ecole Centrale Paris was founded in 1829 by means of a private initiative by Alphonse Lavallée, who became its first president, and three scientists who became founding associates: Eugène Peclet, Jean-Baptiste Dumas, and Théodore Olivier. The founding vision was to educate multidisciplinary engineers for the emerging industrial sector in France. The institution was offered to the French state in 1857 by its creator, Alphonse Lavallée.
