Innovation

Safran, an international high-technology group operating in the aerospace and defence sectors, is strengthening its partnership with ISAE-SUPAERO by creating, with the support of the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, a sponsorship chair focusing on innovation: “Innovating in a world in transition”. The aim of this three-year chair is to support the training of engineers capable of innovating in a world in transition.

Safran shares with ISAE-SUPAERO and its Foundation the desire to promote academic excellence and industrial innovation in the aerospace sector. This partnership enables us to strengthen our ties, contribute to the emergence of new skills, and support ambitious projects that meet the challenges of the future. Safran is proud to have supported the creation of this Chair, thereby helping to train the talent of tomorrow and drive forward key innovations for the future of the sector.
Eric Dalbiès – Group Executive Vice President, Strategy, Technology and Innovation, Safran

A Chair to meet the challenges facing the sector

The challenges facing the aeronautics and space sectors, such as the energy transition, New Space and digitalisation, mean that there is a growing need for accomplished professionals with the capacity to innovate. The aim is to combine the technical and methodological skills of engineers with the know-how that is essential for innovation (creativity, teamwork, customer approach, etc.) to enable them to become genuine agents of change.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are strategic pillars of ISAE-SUPAERO. On campus, students, doctoral candidates and teacher-researchers can take advantage of InnovSpace, an open, well-equipped space to create, develop and support their projects. In partnership with Safran and our Foundation, the Innovation Chair is a real springboard for taking this dynamic further.
Romain Buquet and François du Cluzel – ISAE-SUPAERO referents for this collaboration

The chair has three main focuses

  • Training

The Chair will provide financial support by awarding two excellence scholarships each year to promising young professionals so that they can join the Advanced Masters® in Innovation Entrepreneurship & Management (MS IEM). It will provide support for teaching experiments, study trips for students and support for the hosting and international mobility of professors, researchers and innovation experts.

The Foundation is delighted that this agreement marks the start of a new collaboration with Safran, based on a shared vision of training the innovative engineers of tomorrow. In addition to accelerating ISAE-SUPAERO’s innovation drive, the Chair has a strong social dimension, notably through scholarships that support young people embarking on their entrepreneurial adventure by covering part of their living expenses.
Agnès Trincal – Director of the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation

  • Support

This involves putting young entrepreneurs in touch with renowned experts through a series of conferences and workshops.

  • Start-up

The Chair also provides two start-up and life grants to young graduates of one of the ISAE-SUPAERO courses. Thanks to these grants, project leaders incubated in the Institute’s InnovSpace will be able to mature their project and give it a new dimension by joining the Advanced Masters® in Innovation Entrepreneurship & Management.

Projects relating to aeronautics, space, decarbonisation and sovereignty, as well as the behavioural skills of candidates and the maturity of existing projects, are all assets in the selection of candidates.

This new chair is an opportunity to perpetuate the relationship between Safran and ISAE-SUPAERO, which is already linked by technical partnerships and previously by the AEGIS chair dedicated to innovative propulsion systems for the next generation of aircraft!

Validation of prior experience

The validation of prior experience is an individual right enshrined in the French Labor Code and Education Code. It enables candidates to obtain all - or part - of a professional certification (Diploma, Professional Title, Certificate of Professional Qualification), based on their professional, salaried or non-salaried and/or voluntary experience. This scheme can be used if the candidate is seeking personal recognition, or more generally to support a professional project that he or she wishes to put into practice.
