=== The school today === Under Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, ESPCI achieved its current balance, becoming one of France’s top engineering schools. De Gennes encouraged faculty to bridge science and industry, emphasizing the potential applications of even the most fundamental research. During his tenure, ESPCI expanded its fundamental research, hosting 20 laboratories, 18 affiliated with the CNRS, and two interdisciplinary research groups, collectively employing over 250 researchers and 40 foreign visitors. The school awards about 20 doctorates annually. ESPCI maintains strong industry ties, filing approximately 40 patents yearly. Several companies have emerged from the school. Claude Boccara, scientific director until 2003, noted: “The significant partnerships we maintain with public research entities (Ministry of Research, CNRS, Medical Research Institute) and private sectors (large corporations, small and medium enterprises) give ESPCI a distinctive profile of innovative research, seamlessly spanning the most fundamental aspects to the most strategic applications.”
