CentraleSupélec is a French institute of research and higher education in engineering and science. It was established on 1 January 2015 as a result of a strategic merger between two leading grandes écoles in France, Ecole Centrale Paris and Supélec.
It is a key founding member of the University of Paris-Saclay (consortium of research universities in France), the TIME (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) network and also the CESAER association of European engineering schools.
École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures
École Centrale Paris was founded in 1829 on a private initiative by Alphonse Lavallée, who financed its creation and became its first president, and three distinguished scientists: Eugène Peclet, Jean-Baptiste Dumas, and Théodore Olivier. The founding vision was to promote the development of 'industrial science', or practical applications of recent major scientific discoveries, and to educate multidisciplinary engineers to lead the emerging industrial sector. The institution was offered to the French state in 1857.
Initially located in the Hôtel de Juigné (now Hôtel Salé and home to the Musée Picasso), it was transferred to rue Montgolfier in 1884, where it stayed until 1969. Its current location neighbours the Parc de Sceaux.
École Supérieure d'Electricité
Supélec was founded in 1894 by Eleuthère Mascart, a prominent academic who was elected as a Perpetual Member and Secretary of the Académie des Sciences and Foreign Member of the British Royal Society. He was also a Professor at the Collège de France, and recipient of the Bordin Prize in 1866 as well as the Grand prix de l'Académie des sciences in 1874. Supélec was created in order to educate engineers for the then booming electrical industry.
