• Encourage social openness at ISAE

ISAE’s project to broaden student intake socially

• ISAE’s project to broaden student intake socially

• Even if no young student is barred from entering a "grande école" because of their social origin, the student population present is not representative of the social and cultural diversity of the society we live in.

• ISAE SUPAERO Graduate Program has thus initiated a project to broaden intake socially to get to the root of some of these causes.

• A number of working approaches have been opened out within the scope of the “equality of opportunity” call for projects Minister Azouz Bégag launched in 2006.

Projects developped by “OSE l’ISAE”

• Projects developped by “OSE l’ISAE”

• developing individual tutoring with secondary school students selected by their teachers;

• providing information on the "grandes écoles " track by getting ISAE students to speak to classes of school students (lower or higher secondary) at schools targeted in rural areas in Midi-Pyrénées;

• gender equity;

• integration of the disabled people;

• scientific awareness

The ISAE group has now achieved a size and reputation enabling it to bring together a group of schools, called the ISAE group, around the excellence of its training courses (SUPAERO, ENSICA, Masters, Ph.Ds) and its highly reputed brand.

• ENSMA (National School of Higher Education in Aero mechanics and techniques) has joined

• the ISAE group on may 2011.

• The vocation of the ISAE group is to bring together French higher education institutions in aerospace under a single banner, in order to extend the influence of these institutions both nationally and internationally, and to promote aerospace engineer training.

• The creation of the ISAE group has received support from institutions (GIFAS, 3AF – Association Aéronautique et Astronautique de France, the Air and Space Academy, the Aerospace Valley competitiveness cluster), local stakeholders (Midi-Pyrénées region, Poitou-Charentes region) and industrials.
