In a first-rate scientific environment

Chimie ParisTech is a multidisciplinary research center organized around two fundamental themes :
 Energy, materials and process engineering (Moissan department)
 Molecular chemistry (Friedel department)

Research and technological innovation are in close relation with scientific training.

A “school” with a prestigious history

The school was founded in 1896 by Charles Friedel, chemist and mineralogist, co-discoverer of the famous Friedel-Crafts reaction.
Henri Moissan, director of Chimie ParisTech between 1899 and 1907, was awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1906 for the isolation of fluorine and the development of a high temperature furnace.

And scientific excellence continues

 Daniel Scherman, director of the Chemical and genetic pharmacology laboratory, received the silver medal of the CNRS in 2000 and the prize of the Académie Nationale de Médecine in 2001.
 Gérard Jaouen, director of the Chemistry and biochemistry of molecular complexes laboratory received the centenary medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2002.
 Daniel Lincot, director of the Electrochemistry and analytical chemistry laboratory, received the silver medal of the CNRS in 2004.
 Véronique Michelet, research director at the Selective organic syntheses and natural products laboratory, received the bronze medal of the CNRS in 2007.
 Philippe Marcus, director of the Physical chemistry of surfaces laboratory received the Uhlig Award of the Electrochemical Society in 2005 and the W.R. Whitney Award in 2008.
