ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation
Female students and scientists involved in the day
Female engineers, researchers and students from ISAE-SUPAERO were on hand to inform young students about engineering careers, encourage them to pursue their dreams, and address some of the obstacles they may encounter when making their career choices.
Ines Belgacem, patron of OSE at ISAE-SUPAERO and a scientist at the European Space Agency, recalls the primary objective of this event: ” The idea is not to push young women into science, whether they like it or not, but to provide them with all the information they need. Because we know that young girls are not as keen on science as boys, and that they don’t necessarily have access to information in the same way. For me, information is the key to everything “. She encourages them: ” Get as much information as you can, take advantage of all the opportunities, like Campus au féminin, so that whatever decision you make, it’s one you want to make and not one you have to make.
Angélique, a 2019 graduate of ISAE-SUPAERO and an engineer at Dassault Aviation, who also came along for the occasion, stresses the importance of raising awareness among young girls as early as possible: ” the fact that there aren’t many women in science courses starts very early, and it’s not so much at the recruitment stage that we can do something, or in higher education, but much earlier at secondary school when they choose science courses, where the gap is already widening at that point“.
The Occitanie region, Toulouse Métropole and the Toulouse education authority present for the event
- Nicole Escassut - Regional Director for Women's Rights and Equality
- Julie Escudier - Vice-President of Social Cohesion and Inclusion at Toulouse Métropole - Deputy Mayor for Gender Equality
- Eléonore Tempier - Academic coordinator for "cordées de la réussite" - Toulouse Academy
- Valérie Arlaud - Academic Coordinator for Equality between Girls and Boys - Toulouse Education Authority
Students at the heart of the organisation
Campus au féminin is also, and above all, the remarkable involvement of the Institute’s students, coordinated by the OSE programme team, in particular through the ISAElles student association, which encourages young women to take up science and deconstructs gender stereotypes.
Sascha Eydieu, a student and member of the ISAElles board, tells us about her role in organising the day: “I’m in charge of communicating with students, organising the various events and recruiting volunteers. In practical terms, this involves managing the planning and preparation for the day and organising meetings with the volunteers. I also take part in meetings with the ISAE-SUPAERO OSE team, to ensure that the various stages of the project are properly monitored.
A flagship event in ISAE-SUPAERO and its Foundation's commitment to equal opportunities
Launched in 2016, these days are the result of a collaboration between OSE the ISAE-SUPAERO and the ISAelles club. They reflect the commitment of the Institute, its equal opportunities programme and the Foundation to stepping up initiatives to encourage young girls to go into higher education and science courses.
This event is also part of a wider initiative: the “Campus au féminin” (“Campus for Women”) project, which involves a pair of female engineers and an ISAE-SUPAERO student mentoring groups of 10 secondary school girls. The main objective is to create a special link between secondary school pupils, students and women engineers.
