The traditional seminar of the Lyon – Saint-Étienne Engineering College was held just before the start of the academic year to prepare for 2026-2027. This exchange provided an opportunity to review ongoing projects and define priorities for the coming months.
Members of the Lyon – Saint-Étienne Engineering College gathered at ENTPE for thematic working groups to prepare for the major projects of 2026-2027, including:
- The development of the training offer, with the growth of international Bachelors and Master of Science in Engineering programs.
- The strengthening of research, particularly with interdisciplinary theses and the E@SELY SKILLS project, supporting continuing education and European research.
- The continuation of entrepreneurial momentum by strengthening ties with businesses and local territories.
- The promotion of science and engineering professions to high school students and scientific outreach.
The start of the academic year is also an opportunity to reaffirm the mission of the Lyon – Saint-Étienne Engineering College: to build a collaborative foundation for training, research, and innovation in service of industrial, ecological, and digital transitions.
Meeting the Major Challenges of Transitions
The Lyon – Saint-Étienne Engineering College brings together four engineering schools: École Centrale de Lyon, ENTPE (École Nationale des Travaux Publics de l’État), INSA Lyon (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées), and Mines Saint-Étienne.
These institutions of excellence combine their expertise to support current transitions:
- Decarbonized industry and society
- The circular economy
- Responsible digital society
The Lyon – Saint-Étienne Engineering College thus hosts 150 doctoral students and trains more than 40% of engineers in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with a common ambition: to propose concrete solutions to address the challenges of the contemporary world.
