Our Scientific Steering Committee

Our Scientific Steering Committee advises on issues relating to the teaching provided by CIENS members, and more generally on the integration of CIENS into the life of the School, both pedagogically and scientifically. It is made up of teacher-researchers representing ENS-PSL departments with an interest in the subjects studied by CIENS (history, geography, philosophy, social sciences, computer science, etc.), and possibly teacher-researchers from other PSL establishments, as well as representatives of ENS-PSL management. It meets once a year.

Our Institutional Partners

The CIENS meets once a year with its institutional partners: the CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives), the DGRIS (Direction générale des relations internationales et de la stratégie, Ministère des armées) and the ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information) to take stock of achievements and the use of funding.
