Company profile:

The École normale supérieure (ENS) is an elite higher education establishment (graduate school) for pre-doctoral and doctoral studies and a prestigious French research centre. 

ENS is at once a grande école, due to its selective recruitment, and a research university. It is a central actor in the training of French elites and, for more than two centuries, has nourished the majority of the great intellectual movements of the 20th century. Among its former students are all eight French winners of the Fields medal, 12 Nobel Prize winners and recipients of half of the CNRS gold medals.
