Responsible Digital label

New technologies are profoundly transforming how our society functions, people’s practices, and business processes. This digital transition must be integrated with the ecological transition and the need to optimise resource consumption and act responsibly. Obtaining the Responsible Digital label reflects Mines Saint-Étienne’s clear commitment to being an engineering school fully engaged in the ecological transition.
