OSE ISAE
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.
2012

OSE 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, PoitouCharentes region) and industrials.
