Our actions to promote gender equality
Our three-year action plans
Our three-year plans are built around 4 pillars:
- Assessing, preventing and, where necessary, dealing with pay differentials between women and men,
- guarantee equal access for women and men to civil service bodies, frameworks of employment and grades,
- promote the reconciliation of work and personal and family life,
- prevent and deal with discrimination, acts of violence, moral or sexual harassment and sexist behaviour.
Appointment of our gender equality officers
Two gender equality officers have been appointed to raise awareness and inform staff about the challenges of gender equality within the Ministry of the Armed Forces and the measures in place to promote equality in the workplace.
Our "Féminisons les métiers de l'aéronautique" label
Since 2023, we have been contributing to the initiative launched in 2009 by the Airemploi association, aimed at increasing gender diversity in the aerospace, air transport and airport sectors. In addition to having an active internal policy promoting equality between men and women, membership involves contributing to an observatory of equality between men and women in the aeronautics sector, sharing best practice between members and contributing to actions bearing the Féminisons label initiated by AIREMPLOI. The Féminisons label is supported by the professional federations of the aviation and aeronautics sectors: FNAM and GIFAS.
Our fight against the menstrual insecurity of our learners
Since 2020, we have been working to combat the menstrual insecurity of our learners by distributing washable menstrual protection kits twice a year and providing a number of free sanitary protection dispensers on campus.
Our OSE INGé scheme
The OSE INGé scheme provides personalised support for girls and scholarship-holders throughout their CPGE course to help them build their future plans and develop their ambitions.
Our international initiatives
We welcome international students
We offer around fifteen programmes taught entirely in English and welcome over 40% international students.
Our labels
Our "Bienvenue en France" label
We have been awarded the "Bienvenue en France" 3-star label. This label distinguishes French higher education establishments that develop and promote reception services for international learners.
Our FLE quality label
In 2024, we renewed our French as a Foreign Language quality label with three stars (the highest rating) for a renewable four-year period.
Our actions to promote social diversity
Our social outreach programme
Our equal opportunities programme OSE L'ISAE-SUPAERO, created in 2006 and awarded the Cordées de la Réussite label in 2009, aims to promote access to higher education for all by encouraging success through hard work.
Our programme is aimed at high school students from disadvantaged neighbourhoods and isolated rural areas who have distinguished themselves by their motivation. It helps them to build and succeed in an ambitious academic and professional project.
A socially responsible purchasing policy
At ISAE-SUPAERO, we have set ourselves the target of including 30% of social clauses in our public procurement contracts, in order to promote the integration of people who are far from employment and companies employing people with disabilities.
A partnership with Toulouse Métropole Emploi enables us to target contracts where social clauses are relevant.
Our fight against harassment, discrimination and sexual and gender-based violence (HDVS)
Since 2019, we have been rolling out a plan to combat harassment, discrimination and sexist and sexual violence (HDVS), which includes in particular prevention initiatives aimed at staff and learners.
Our plan also provides for active reception and listening for victims and witnesses of situations relating to acts of SGBV, as well as a reporting system.
Our reporting system
A reporting system is dedicated to victims and witnesses of sexual harassment, discrimination of all kinds and sexual or gender-based violence within the Institute. People can report such incidents either via a reporting platform or to one of the HDVS units (student or staff).
Our reporting platform
www.isae-supaero.signalement.net is the reporting platform for the Institute's students and staff.
For victims or witnesses of a prejudicial situation, this alert platform allows information to be passed on at any time to the referents appointed by ISAE-SUPAERO, who are members of dedicated reporting units.
Our platform makes it possible to secure the reporting process within ISAE-SUPAERO. Its features include:
- Accessible from any web browser (computer, telephone, tablet, etc.);
- secure and confidential platform;
- available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
- available in French, English and Spanish;
- a complaints unit dedicated to students and a unit dedicated to staff.
Our charter of commitment against sexual harassment, sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination of all kinds
Our values
Our values of excellence, exemplarity and respect are reflected in the right of every member of our community to work and learn in a peaceful environment.
Our commitments
Our Institute is firmly committed to combating sexual harassment, sexual and gender-based violence and discrimination of all kinds (also known as SGBV), and condemns any behaviour or comments that are contrary to the law.
Our focus
Informing, listening and taking action are the cornerstones of our Institute's strategy to enable everyone - students, doctoral candidates, lecturers and staff - to work and study at ISAE-SUPAERO in a climate of trust.
Our charter
Attached to the ISAE-SUPAERO internal regulations, our charter is the result of collaborative work between students, teachers and staff. Its purpose is to set out the values and commitments of ISAE-SUPAERO and our expectations of our community in terms of combating acts of HDVS.
Our dedicated service
At ISAE-SUPAERO, we have an identified service that guarantees a personalised and permanent welcome. Our service is aimed at both students and staff with disabilities.

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.

Discover our OSE InGÉ program“OSE Intégrer une Grande École” with the OSE InGÉ program, ISAE-SUPAERO's student social opening program for scientific CPGE students, in partnership with the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, ENAC - Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile and the ENAC Foundation. The OSE InGÉ program provides personalized support for young girls and scholarship-holders throughout their preparatory classes for the Grandes Ecoles (CPGE), helping them to build their future plans and develop their ambitions. The stakes are threefold: the democratization of education linked to profound rather than structural transformations, the strengthening of #social openness in the grandes écoles and the engineering field, and the creation of an innovative scheme on the scale of an Occitanie region. Begun in 2022, the program was brought to life thanks to the collaboration of the teaching teams at three Toulouse high schools: Lycée Bellevue, Lycée Déodat de Séverac and Lycée Pierre de Fermat, the mobilization of ISAE-SUPAERO alumni and the support of our partners: the Conseil Régional de La Région Occitanie / Pyrénées-Méditerranée, Airbus, Elior Group and CREPS de Toulouse. It consists of : - customized mentoring: personalized, one-to-one support from a mentor who is an alumnus of the school, depending on availability and needs. An ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus provides support right up to the competitive entrance exams, offering his or her experience, support and listening skills to help answer questions and reinforce choices; - immersion courses to discover the campus of a Grande École, talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds, meet your mentor, consolidate your knowledge and learn how to better manage your CPGE years; - one-off events at partner high schools: an #orientation evening, testimonials from professionals, conferences, dinner/debates, training for #CPGE teachers on how to support vulnerable students.
