Laboratories

Research at ESPCI is not organized along the typical scheme of a handful of discrete, single-discipline departments. Instead, it is arranged as a larger assembly of topic-focused laboratories collectively covering a large and diverse subject area across physics, chemistry and biology. Today, such assembly brings together 9 research laboratories , all endorsed and jointly supported by CNRS.
