École Normale Supérieure de Paris

aid: ens-paris
name: École Normale Supérieure de Paris
description: 'École Normale Supérieure de Paris (ENS, rue d''Ulm) is a leading French grande école and constituent member
  of Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres), ranked #86 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. ENS operates 15 departments,
  35 research laboratories and a network of libraries. ENS does not publish a first-party developer portal or documented institutional
  API; its programmatic surface is reached indirectly via national French research and higher-education open infrastructure.
  Researcher output is deposited in the HAL-ENS open archive, which is harvestable through the national HAL OAI-PMH endpoint
  and the HAL REST/Search API, and ENS establishment data is exposed through the Ministry of Higher Education (MESR) open-data
  platform''s Opendatasoft Explore API.'
