The ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation
The ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, recognised as a public utility in 2008, aims to support the development of ISAE-SUPAERO by contributing to the financing of innovative projects in favour of its students, teacher-researchers and professors.
Our purpose

• To finance the hosting of foreign teacher-researchers at the forefront of their field and to support ISAE-SUPAERO teacher-researchers going abroad by means of grants.
