We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 2025 edition of the ENS Summer Institute. The ENS Summer Institute aims to cover a broad spectrum of topics in high-energy physics and cosmology, and provide ample opportunities for discussion. 

This year, it will include topics on holography, quantum gravity and particle physics.

Special event: On 25/06, we will celebrate the distinguished career and scientific legacy of our esteemed colleague, Curtis Calan, on the occasion of his retirement, organised jointly with the ENS biophysics group.
