ISAE SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni is much more than a network of graduates: it's a close-knit, committed and proactive community, driven by a spirit of mutual aid and sharing at the service of society.
A committed and supportive network
Created in 1911 by the first engineers to graduate from Sup’Aéro, the Amicale des anciens élèves de l’Institut supérieur de l’aéronautique et de l’espace, today known under the brand name ISAE-SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni, is an association recognised as being in the public interest.
With nearly 30,000 graduates from ISAE-SUPAERO and its founding schools (Sup’Aéro and ENSICA), it stands out for its values of solidarity, conviviality, benevolence and responsibility.
ISAE-SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni works passionately to bring together and animate the alumni network on both a friendly and professional level. It relies on the commitment of its members to promote ISAE-SUPAERO and the aerospace sector on a national and international scale.
Nicolas Marson President of ISAE-SUPAERO ENSICA AlumniAmbitious and essential missions
The association plays a key role in :
- maintain links between alumni :
- managing and updating a rich and dynamic database,
- informing members of news from the network and the School,
- providing occasional support to fellow alumni in difficulty;
- supporting alumni initiatives and projects:
- support students and encourage intergenerational relations,
- strengthen the cohesion of the classes and thematic groups;
- promote the professional development of alumni:
- offering services and resources adapted to each stage of their career,
- collaborate with the School and the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation to contribute to their influence and that of the aeronautics and space sector.
A collective dynamic driven by members
The Association lives on the energy of its volunteers and the membership fees of its members!
Every contribution, whether in the form of a donation, volunteer work or regular profile updates, strengthens the network and guarantees its effectiveness.
By joining this exceptional community, every student and graduate becomes a key player in the development and success of a unique network, both in France and internationally.

Arnaud Prost, ESA reserve astronaut and ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus: “I was incredibly lucky to be here”Fighter pilot and reserve astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA), Arnaud Prost returned to his former school on Thursday March 28 to meet 200 secondary school students as part of the ISAE SUPAERO OSE program. It was an opportunity for him to recall the “great memories” of his student experience at ISAE-SUPAERO, his long-standing commitment to the student social outreach program and the “Aquanauts” scheme he set up with OSE l'ISAE-SUPAERO. And in passing, he offers a few words of advice to young people who might dream of following in his footsteps: “Don't let yourself be convinced that one of these paths isn't for you!” A 2017 graduate of ISAE-SUPAERO, Arnaud Prost is among those selected for the ESA Astronaut Class of 2022, alongside Sophie Adenot and Anthea Comellini, both also alumni of the school. They join other illustrious ESA astronauts who have already studied at the school: Thomas Pesquet, Luca Parmitano and Samantha Cristoforetti. Since 1970, ISAE-SUPAERO has contributed to the progress of the space age through its training, research and innovation activities. As the only organization in France to offer degree courses (engineering, master's, specialized master's, doctorate) covering all 22 space-related themes identified by CNES, the Institute offers a royal road to space careers.
