Our Challenge for the Environmental Transition

Last Updated On

At ISAE-SUPAERO, we are committed to a sustainable society through ‘Horizons’ in the field of environmental transition. Supported by a manifesto and a carbon footprint, our strategy mobilises researchers, teachers, staff and students to accelerate the transition and design the low-carbon aeronautics of tomorrow.

At ISAE-SUPAERO, environmental issues are at the heart of our commitment.

At ISAE-SUPAERO, our commitment to a sustainable society is reflected in the concrete mobilisation of our teaching and scientific skills in support of environmental transitions. We are actively working to invent the low-carbon air transport of the future, in close conjunction with our teaching and research mission.

Our roadmap for sustainable development, known as Horizons, structures our actions around five major themes:

  1. training engineers and scientists who are aware of the ecological challenges ;
  2. research and innovation for sustainable technologies
  3. act for the transition by accompanying changes in industry and society;
  4. adapting our campus to make it an exemplary, resilient place;
  5. making a lasting commitment by involving our entire community in a collective approach.

This strategic framework is supported by a clear and ambitious manifesto, reflecting our desire toact responsibly. Our students' growing awareness of environmental issues, illustrated by their involvement in numerous dedicated projects and courses, strengthens our determination.

Lastly, since 2019, our annual carbon footprint has enabled us to objectify our impact and define priorities for action to significantly reduce our emissions.

With Horizons, ISAE-SUPAERO confirms its position as a committed player in sustainable aeronautics.
