As the Dean of studies at the Ecole Centrale Paris, I have witnessed the great success of the CPI projects since they have been set up and the added value of this multi-disciplinary team work between our students and those of the ESSEC, and now those involved from Strate College. It is thanks to such innovative, audacious and motivating initiatives that the major issues of the 21st century, linked to energy, the environment, information, economy etc will be solved. The inventive approach has fueled enthusiasm amongst the students and young professionals involved. This appears to be the best guarantee for a rich, fruitful and unforgettable experience for all. I can therefore only back such an initiative from both a professional and personal point of view.

Our vision is to be dedicated to helping everybody thrive in a changing world. This goes hand in hand with sustainable development, which aims to improve everyone's quality of life.
