Chimie ParisTech is an engineering school general chemistry, founded in 1896 and located in the 5 th district of Paris , on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. Chimie ParisTech bears the name until 2008 National School of Chemistry, Paris (ENSCP), and is sometimes known as the Chemistry Paris. The ENSCP Chimie ParisTech is under the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research

Chimie ParisTech has the status of a public administrative establishment (EPA), is a founding member of ParisTech , the founding member of Science and Letters Paris – Latin Quarter , and is part of the Federation of Gay-Lussac.

The School also provides training for doctoral students , students in Master Science and Technology, as well as students in specialized Masters. The Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris was founded in 1896 on the initiative of the chemist and mineralogist Charles Friedel , famous for its organic synthesis. Affected by the annexation of his native Alsace, he had found the lack of chemistry education in France, which led to failure an important weakness of French industry relative to its neighbors. The Finance Act dated 28 December 1895 allowed him to create in the Faculty of Paris the chemistry laboratory and industrial practice. Friedel en assure la direction jusqu’en 1899.
