Events
The Arts Office
The Arts Office, an integral part of the Student Office, is responsible for promoting arts and culture at the School.
Clubs invite students to take up or continue all forms of artistic activity: music, theatre, dance, concerts, piano classes, writing workshops, improvisation sessions, theatre productions based on contemporary texts, and a variety of performances to develop the imagination.
Les sENS de l’Art
Each year, this arts festival offers the ENS Paris-Saclay community a diverse programme of exhibitions and performances of original works in theatre, circus, dance and more.
InterENS culturels
This annual festival brings together the four ENSs for a weekend celebrating all forms of art.
Literary Award
Literature comes to the fore every year when a selection panel made up of ENS Paris-Saclay students awards a literary prize for a first novel.
Projects
The new ENS Paris-Saclay building on the Moulon plateau, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, is intended to provide an inclusive and inspiring environment for research and knowledge exchange.
The School will surprise at every turn through varied treatment of surroundings and atmosphere.
Paul Cribier's garden
The building is organized around a park—the ideal setting for reflection, discussion and knowledge-sharing.
The Kube
