Founded in 1909 and located since 1968 in Toulouse, at the heart of the European aerospace ecosystem, we are now a world-class institute for higher education and research in aerospace engineering.
Over 100 Years of Excellence
ISAE-SUPAERO is a public higher education and research establishment under the authority of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
For over 100 years, our Institute has contributed to the excellence of the aerospace industry, making a significant contribution to the prosperity and sovereignty of France and Europe.
High-level Teaching
Our Institute is at the global forefront of higher education in aerospace engineering, thanks to the wealth of programmes we offer in this field, the employability of our graduates who go on to achieve top-level careers in a wide range of sectors (aeronautics, space, sustainable development, energy, transport, defence, strategy consulting, finance, digital, research and innovation, etc.) and the number of engineers, masters and PhD graduates we produce.
Actor in Transitions
At a time when environmental and social issues are at the heart of our concerns, we are making a significant contribution to meeting the challenge of the energy transition.
We are mobilising our teaching skills and scientific expertise to help build the aeronautical and space components of this sustainable society, and in particular to invent the low-carbon air transport of tomorrow.
Our raison d'être
ISAE-SUPAERO's raison d'être is to train high-level scientific and humanistic engineers who are innovative and capable of mastering the complex challenges of tomorrow's world.
We are committed to this mission in order to keep the European aerospace industry and research, both civil and military, at the forefront of the world.
In this way, we are contributing to French and European sovereignty and prosperity, as well as to the progress of humankind.
Today’s engineers and scientists face new challenges in a wide variety of fields, including the environment, safety and the economy.
Technical complexity, new approaches to industrial organisation and the management of international partnerships are all part of an environment that needs to be understood in a highly competitive context.
Skills, knowledge and creativity are stimulated at ISAE-SUPAERO to train the engineers and scientists who will design the civil and military aircraft andspacesystemsof the future.
Our mission is to train engineers and experts in the design of complex systems, in the management of major projects and in entrepreneurship, so that we can lead our industry through this exceptional period of transformation and innovation.
