École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures
École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures is the official name of the mechanical engineering school otherwise known as the École centrale Paris, or simply ECP. Today, in fact, it is known casually as simply as Centrale or Centrale Paris. It was founded in 1829 on the private initiative of Alphonse Lavallée and is one of France's oldest and most prestigious engineering schools, noted for the general applicability of the training offered, and notably in terms considered entrepreneurial, granting Specialized Masters' degrees, those of Master, Research Master, and those of the Doctorate. On the first of January 2015, the school's activities were taken over by another "grand établissement", CentraleSupélec, which also subsumed the activities of the École supérieure d'électricité, including the campuses at Gif, Metz and Rennes. The last graduate body receiving a diploma "d'ingénieur des Arts et Manufactures" is that of 2020.[1]
(The school factors moderately into our data at present and is likely to play an increased role as we flesh out the backgrounds of more inventors.)
