Since the mid-18th century, French engineering schools have been the spearhead of the nation\u2019s economic development and social progress.<\/p>\n
\u00c9cole des Mines de Saint-\u00c9tienne is France\u2019s oldest elite engineering school outside Paris, and the fifth oldest among France\u2019s 250 \u00ab\u00a0Grandes \u00c9coles\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n
The school is part of a family of seven \u201cNational Schools of Mines\u201d created between 1783 and 1992.<\/p>\n
The history of the school is all about \u201cvalue exploration and value mining\u201d. No wonder that the old mine safety lamp (patented by a school alumnus, Jean-Baptiste Marsaut, class of 1850, is still today the school\u2019s symbol: all we do is about discovery and enlightening!<\/p>\n
The school is proud of its substantial share in France’s educational and industrial heritage. But in no way is the school haunted by nostalgic memories. It has always been at the forefront of engineering education and innovations. The school \u201ctrademark\u201d has recently been\u00a0illustrated by the foundation of two new, fast developing research units exploring the frontiers between engineering and life sciences: the Health and Engineering centre, and the Department of Bioelectronics.<\/p>\n
Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com: creation of the first group of engineering and business schools in France.<\/p>\n
The creation of the Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com on 1st March 2012, made official by the decree of 28th February 2012, brings the Mines Schools and Institut T\u00e9l\u00e9com Schools together to form the first group of engineering and business schools in France, making it a key player in higher education, research and innovation.<\/p>\n
Teaching, Research, Innovation: the new institute’s 3 key missions<\/p>\n
In terms of Teaching, the Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com offers new opportunities for students in terms of mobility but also double degrees, particularly for engineers\/managers, facilitated by the presence of T\u00e9l\u00e9com Business School. This group now enjoys a higher international profile enabling it to develop partnerships with top-ranking academic institutions.<\/p>\n
In terms of Research and Innovation, the research staff at Institut Mines-T\u00e9l\u00e9com cover a wide spectrum of knowledge in engineering, digital technology, economic and social sciences and in management. By combining its assets, the Institute has established itself in its disciplines and areas of application for academic and industrial partners at national, as well as European and international, levels.<\/p>\n
