Prior Experience Accreditation

Last Updated On

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.

Anyone, whatever their age, nationality, status, or level of training, can undertake a Prior Experience Accreditation (VAE) process.

Our diplomas and qualifications accessible via a VAE process are: the “diplôme d’ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO” programme, the “Diplôme d’ingénieur de spécialité” industrial engineering speciality programme, the Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, and the professional certification “Project Manager in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences (AM)” registered with the RNCP n°40551.

Below you can find how the VAE process can be applied ISAE-SUPAERO as well as the associated fees.

Applications for VAE (completed booklet 1) should be submitted to the following address: info.exed@isae-supaero.fr.

A Few Figures on VAE at ISAE SUPAERO

In 2023, 2 people appeared before a VAE jury:

  • 100% success rate on the exam
  • 100% of people who have taken VAE are satisfied or very satisfied*
  • VAE was completed 6 months after obtaining professional certification
  • 100% of VAE graduates are employed

*Response rate to satisfaction survey: 100

The VAE Process

The VAE process is divided into 3 phases:

Phase 1: Application Eligibility

Once you have been informed about VAE and have checked that it can contribute to your career plan, Phase 1 can begin, with the aim of obtaining a favourable opinion on your VAE application.

To do this, you need to select the appropriate vocational qualification and draw up your VAE application (Cerfa form n°12818*2 and admissibility file, also known as ‘livret 1’).

VAE applications can be submitted to ISAE-SUPAERO between September and May. Once your complete application has been received, a panel will analyse your request and an acceptance decision will be sent to you within a maximum of 2 months.

If you are applying for a professional qualification (diploma, professional title) from ISAE-SUPAERO, please contact us to obtain the Cerfa form, the Livret 1 model, and the associated guide at info.exed@isae-supaero.fr.

Phase 2: Support and Skills Assessment

If the VAE application is deemed admissible by ISAE-SUPAERO, Phase 2 aims to obtain all or part of the professional certification in question. To do this, you will need to complete the VAE application form, also known as the ‘livret 2’, and to demonstrate your experience to the ISAE-SUPAERO VAE certification panel so that it can assess and certify your skills.

We offer individualised support led by a coach who holds an FFP ‘Accompagnateur VAE’ professional certificate (RS 2090) in coordination with the person in charge of the programme concerned by the VAE. This phase is managed by ISAE-SUPAERO in its capacity as a VAE support organisation and certifying body.

If, at the end of Phase 1, you have received a favourable opinion on your VAE application, please contact the ISAE-SUPAERO VAE advisor: marie-claude.marcade@isae-supaero.fr.

Find out how our teams can support you during Phase 2 of your VAE process by downloading the dedicated sheet.

Phase 3: Additional Courses Lead to Certification and a New Skills Assessment

In the event of partial validation, the aim of Phase 3 is to acquire – via additional courses leading to certification – the missing skills required to obtain the professional certification in question. This phase is managed by ISAE-SUPAERO.

If, at the end of Phase 2, the VAE certification panel recommends additional training, please contact the ISAE-SUPAERO Continued Education team by writing to info.exed@isae-supaero.fr.

VAE Fees at ISAE-SUPAERO

You can use your CPF to fund support for the VAE (Phase 2).

Accessibility for People with Disabilities

People with disabilities may have specific needs in order to follow our programmes.

If a learner has declared that he or she has a disability, the ISAE-SUPAERO Disability Advisor will consider the student's disability and his or her needs in terms of compensation (teaching resources, equipment, techniques, human resources, etc.). This person mobilizes the expertise, tools, and networks needed to provide access to premises (where applicable) and resources, as well as to facilitate preparation for certification (where applicable) and assessment tests.

Don't hesitate to contact our Disability Advisor, who offers individualized and confidential support to the students concerned and coordinates the adjustments needed, in coordination with the teaching teams, to ensure that the course runs smoothly.

FRENCH SUPERCAM INSTRUMENT RECORDING THE SOUND OF INGENUITY'S 4th FLIGHT

Located 80 meters from the rover at the moment of take-off, the small helicopter rose to 5 meters above the ground before covering a distance of 133 meters before returning to land where it had taken off from. SuperCam's scientific microphone, developed by ISAE-SUPAERO, recorded the sound emitted by the rotation of the Martian drone's blades during its flight. This sound has a characteristic frequency of 84 Hz, equivalent to the low “E” of a piano or the bass voice of a human being. “This is a big surprise for the whole scientific team,” says Naomi Murdoch, a researcher at ISAE-SUPAERO who is studying the data from the microphone. "Tests carried out in a Martian atmosphere simulator to design this instrument, and our theories of sound propagation, indicated that the microphone would have great difficulty picking up the sounds of the helicopter. Indeed, Mars' thin atmosphere strongly attenuates sound transmission. We needed a bit of luck to record the helicopter from such a distance. We're very pleased to have succeeded in obtaining this recording, which is proving to be a goldmine for our understanding of the Martian atmosphere". Developed jointly by ISAE-SUPAERO and a consortium of CNRS laboratories and its partners, coordinated by CNES, SuperCam's microphone is derived from a consumer model adapted to withstand the Martian environment. It pursues 3 substantial scientific and technical objectives of the Mars 2020 mission: Study the sound associated with laser impacts on Martian rocks, to gain a better understanding of their mechanical properties. Improving our understanding of atmospheric phenomena (wind turbulence, dust eddies, wind interactions with the rover, and now with the helicopter). Understanding the sound signature of the rover's various movements (robotic arm and mast operations, driving on normal or uneven ground, pump monitoring, etc.). The microphone was first switched on a few hours after Perseverance landed. It recorded the first Martian sounds generated by turbulence in the atmosphere. It is used daily in conjunction with laser rock ablation for chemical analysis of Mars. ABOUT THE MARS 2020 MISSION: NASA is relying on Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the development of the Mars 2020 mission. SuperCam was developed jointly by LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA) and a consortium of laboratories attached to the CNRS, French universities and research establishments. Several Spanish universities, led by the University of Valladolid, are also contributing to the instrument. CNES is responsible to NASA for the French contribution to SuperCam. The instrument is operated alternately from LANL and the French Operations Center for Science and Exploration (FOCSE) at CNES in Toulouse.

3 questions to Marie Delaroche, 3ᵉ year student and MDRS 293 crew commander

Since February 18, seven ISAE-SUPAERO engineering students have been living a simulated Martian life and carrying out experiments in collaboration with CNES and several research laboratories at The Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in UTAH (USA)! For the second time, the mission is led by a woman: Marie Delaroche, a passionate #spaceexplorer, who was already part of crew 275 departing in 2023. We asked her 3 questions to find out more about the challenges of this mission and her feelings as #flightcommander! Alongside her, three young women and three young men in their 2ᵉ year of #engineering studies have taken on the roles of astronomer, scientist, botanist, journalist, health worker and onboard engineer. They are all members of the Mars Club ISAE-SUPAERO, a student association for the popularization of science focused on the Red Planet and the missions dedicated to its exploration and study. They are currently experimenting with AI4U, the artificial intelligence that assists astronauts in their daily tasks (environmental measurements, voice recognition, emergency exercises). They are also conducting a science popularization experiment in collaboration with secondary school pupils. Inspired by the film The Martian, in which an astronaut grows potatoes on the Red Planet, the aim of this experiment is to compare plant growth in Martian soil with growth in terrestrial soil!

The sound of a Martian dust devil captured by the SuperCam microphone on Perseverance

This video and audio show the results obtained by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover and its SuperCam microphone when recording the sounds of a Martian dust devil passing overhead on 27 September 2021, the 215th Martian day or sol of the mission. The dust devil was 25 metres wide and at least 118 metres high, moving at a speed of approximately 19 km/h. This is the first time such a recording has been made, as capturing a dust devil requires a bit of luck. Indeed, it flew over the rover at a time when all of Perseverance's sensors measuring wind, pressure, temperature and dust, plus the NavigationXXX (Navcam) camera, were running. This allowed scientists to combine sounds, images and atmospheric data. The unique combination of this data, along with atmospheric modelling, enabled researchers to estimate the dimensions of the dust devil. Scientists cannot accurately predict when these vortices will occur. Rovers such as Perseverance and Curiosity monitor them regularly. When scientists notice that they are more frequent at a certain time of day or approaching from a certain direction, they focus their monitoring to try to capture a dust devil with all the sensors at their disposal. > To better understand the video, it shows three rows of images: - the row

Our Innovation & Entrepreneurship Networks

At ISAE-SUPAERO, 2023 marked an acceleration in the development of entrepreneurial activity.

In addition to its role as a FabLab, the InnovSpace was transformed into an incubator for the Institute’s first entrepreneurial projects in 2023. It can house up to eleven startups stemming from study or research projects and student projects from the Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO and Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering programmes.

At the same time, a comprehensive process for supporting entrepreneurial projects has been defined.

As a result, ISAE-SUPAERO is now able to support project leaders from A to Z in the maturation and development of their innovative project (market study, technical feasibility, financial engineering, communication, marketing strategy, legal assistance, etc.).

A label has also been created to unite start-ups created by ISAE-SUPAERO students or alumni around a common identity of excellence.

we spark the future - by ISAE-SUPAERO label

The we spark the future - by ISAE-SUPAERO label was created in 2023.

Its purpose? To create an identity and unite all the companies founded by alumni, students, and staff of ISAE-SUPAERO. It also reflects the Institute's values of excellence and passion.

This label is officially awarded to each ISAE-SUPAERO company that meets the deep tech, aeronautics, space, or defence criteria.

A department is mainly dedicated to this activity and is involved in several areas:

  • Detecting problems to be solved to provide students and teacher-researchers with ideas, and identifying potential solutions
  • Selecting projects with the potential to create value
  • Supporting project leaders from the training stage
  • Transforming the idea into a business by providing personalised advice, organising talks by technical and business experts, and encouraging local networking with investors, partners, customers, beta-testers, etc
  • Planning, by teaching innovators to develop a strategic vision for business development

The entrepreneurial dynamic and the structuring of the support process have enabled ISAE-SUPAERO to be officially recognised as a regional incubator, through its acceptance into RESO IP+ by AD'OCC.

The Réseau des incubateurs et des pépinières d'Occitanie Pyrénées Méditerranées, or RESO IP+, is a community of organisations responsible for providing support and accommodation for project leaders and young companies that are innovative and/or have high development potential in the Occitan region.

Thanks to this membership, the Institut now has VIP access to all RESO IP+ events, to the sharing of best practice and to the community's expertise in supporting startups.

Membership of RESO IP+ also opens up potential opportunities for public funding and gives the Institute the power to prescribe loans for projects currently in incubation.

Mission French Tech is responsible for supporting the structuring and growth of the French startup ecosystem, both in France and internationally, with a goal of making France one of the most attractive countries in the world for startups looking to conquer international markets. It represents a network of thirteen French Tech capitals.

ISAE-SUPAERO's membership of the French Tech network in 2023 is a significant step forward, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to find outlets for their products, obtain public funding, expand their networks, and raise the profile of the Institute.

In 2023, 8 startups have been created and are currently incubated at ISAE-SUPAERO.

The aim of IDEA3 is to federate and encourage innovation through close links between DGA, the armed forces, and the local economic environment - SMEs, start-ups, laboratories, and major groups.

Each theme is explained in a requirements sheet to give a better understanding of the issues involved.

  • FS46-Automate measurements, protocols and naturalist inventories in military camps in particular, in order to preserve biodiversity. Army requirement.
  • FS51 - Increase the survivability of land combatants by attracting part of the enemy's firepower to decoys of all kinds. Army requirement.
  • FS56 - Device for displaying and/or plotting on the ground data and landmarks from a large-scale digital model (up to several thousand m2). DGA requirement.
  • FS57 - Device for measuring the true temperature of a material based on its emissivity between 400°C and 2500°C. DGA requirement.
  • FS58: Detection and tracking of objects travelling between 30 and 300 km in altitude. Needed by CDE.
  • FS59: Detection, warning and characterisation of changes in attitude of LEO, MEO or GEO satellites.
  • FS60 - Low-cost jettisonable refuelling glider. Army requirement.

Aerospace Valley is Europe's leading aerospace competitiveness cluster, serving three sectors in the Occitanie/Pyrénées-Méditerranée and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions.

Aerospace Valley contributes to the development and competitiveness of its members through innovation by promoting collaborative research and development projects.

The cluster supports its members in setting up their collaborative innovation projects, an essential vector for maximising their chances of obtaining funding.

Finally, the cluster's expertise contributes to development, growth and transformation, and facilitates access to new markets.

Aerospace Valley has:

  • over 850 members
  • over 100 events per year
  • over 15K contacts
  • 322 funded projects

The " Lanceur d'Étoiles" programme was born out of the association of national and regional partners, experts in ASD (Aeronautics, Space and Defence) and in the creation of deep tech startups (universities, national organisations, SATT, regional incubators, and accelerators).

The group's mission is to guide and help project leaders to propel their innovative technologies through value-creating deep-tech startups.

Lanceur d'Étoiles is a consortium of thirteen partners from the Toulouse region:

  • Toulouse Tech Transfer
  • CNES
  • ISAE-SUPAERO
  • INP Toulouse
  • Aerospace Valley
  • IMT Mines Albi
  • Nubbo
  • University of Toulouse
  • TBS Education
  • ONERA
  • INSA
  • CEA

Created in July 2022, the aim of this consortium is to encourage the emergence and development of deep-tech startups in the aeronautics, space, and defence (ASD) sector in the Toulouse region.

Lanceur d'Étoiles offers a made-to-measure, solutions-oriented programme over 3 to 18 months, with Toulouse Tech Transfer as the single point of entry, via ad hoc monthly meetings based on needs with the various partners identified and one-off acceleration events (quarterly bootcamps) designed to encourage team building, network building, and raising the profile of projects.

The programme is focused on the needs of entrepreneurs and is solutions-oriented, offering visibility and easy access.

The first class of the Star Launcher programme is made up of nine startups, six of which are from ISAE-SUPAERO.

By its very nature, this programme is an ideal complement to the support offered by InnovSpace.

Fab&Co is the association of industrial Fablabs, Markerspaces and Innovation Labs.

The association brings together companies from industry, services, schools, etc.

Its ambition is to promote digital fabrication workshops, professional, and industrial third places with a business vocation, and to demonstrate their value within industrial organisations.

The members of the association also form a learning community, where everyone shares their knowledge and experience with the aim of advancing common knowledge.

 

The 11th Parachute Brigade and ISAE-SUPAERO have signed a framework agreement for the development of innovative field UAVs. This charter will be broken down into specific agreements based on future research themes in the field of UAVs.

“Les Entretiens de Toulouse – Training through debate”: April 9 & 10, 2025 on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus

Last Updated On

"Les Entretiens de Toulouse" has become a must-attend event for the aerospace industry. A forum for the exchange and transmission of skills, this training through debate provides an opening onto subjects with high industrial stakes. The 2025 edition of the Entretiens de Toulouse will take place on April 9 & 10, 2025, in person, at ISAE-SUPAERO!

PRINCIPLE OF THE EVENT

The Entretiens de Toulouse were set up in 2008 with the aim of promoting a no-holds-barred dialogue between all the players in the aerospace sector to facilitate the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge!

The course is organised aroundthemedTalks spread over 4 half-days.

Participants choose 1 Talk per half-day from the 17 areas of discussion and 68 Talks on offer, and build their own “à la carte” training programme over 2 days.

Each Talk is attended by a maximum of 25 people. One or more recognised experts present the subject of the Talk for around 30 minutes, followed by discussion and debate in the audience. Members of the Académie de l’Air et de l’Espace act as moderators, ensuring the quality of the discussions.

To prepare for these Talks, the experts’ contributions are grouped together in a book, which is sent out one month before the Talks to registered participants. Participants can therefore choose which Interview(s) they will attend and prepare the questions they wish to ask, either in advance via this website or directly at the Interview.

No record of the discussions will be published following the Interviews, in order to guarantee industrial confidentiality.

REGISTRATION & INFORMATION

Registration is open and the number of places is limited in order to encourage debate.

We recommend that you register as soon as possible, as registrations will be processed in chronological order.

Registration details are available here.

FRENCH SUPERCAM INSTRUMENT RECORDING THE SOUND OF INGENUITY'S 4th FLIGHT

Located 80 meters from the rover at the moment of take-off, the small helicopter rose to 5 meters above the ground before covering a distance of 133 meters before returning to land where it had taken off from. SuperCam's scientific microphone, developed by ISAE-SUPAERO, recorded the sound emitted by the rotation of the Martian drone's blades during its flight. This sound has a characteristic frequency of 84 Hz, equivalent to the low “E” of a piano or the bass voice of a human being. “This is a big surprise for the whole scientific team,” says Naomi Murdoch, a researcher at ISAE-SUPAERO who is studying the data from the microphone. "Tests carried out in a Martian atmosphere simulator to design this instrument, and our theories of sound propagation, indicated that the microphone would have great difficulty picking up the sounds of the helicopter. Indeed, Mars' thin atmosphere strongly attenuates sound transmission. We needed a bit of luck to record the helicopter from such a distance. We're very pleased to have succeeded in obtaining this recording, which is proving to be a goldmine for our understanding of the Martian atmosphere". Developed jointly by ISAE-SUPAERO and a consortium of CNRS laboratories and its partners, coordinated by CNES, SuperCam's microphone is derived from a consumer model adapted to withstand the Martian environment. It pursues 3 substantial scientific and technical objectives of the Mars 2020 mission: Study the sound associated with laser impacts on Martian rocks, to gain a better understanding of their mechanical properties. Improving our understanding of atmospheric phenomena (wind turbulence, dust eddies, wind interactions with the rover, and now with the helicopter). Understanding the sound signature of the rover's various movements (robotic arm and mast operations, driving on normal or uneven ground, pump monitoring, etc.). The microphone was first switched on a few hours after Perseverance landed. It recorded the first Martian sounds generated by turbulence in the atmosphere. It is used daily in conjunction with laser rock ablation for chemical analysis of Mars. ABOUT THE MARS 2020 MISSION: NASA is relying on Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the development of the Mars 2020 mission. SuperCam was developed jointly by LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA) and a consortium of laboratories attached to the CNRS, French universities and research establishments. Several Spanish universities, led by the University of Valladolid, are also contributing to the instrument. CNES is responsible to NASA for the French contribution to SuperCam. The instrument is operated alternately from LANL and the French Operations Center for Science and Exploration (FOCSE) at CNES in Toulouse.

The sound of a Martian dust devil captured by the SuperCam microphone on Perseverance

This video and audio show the results obtained by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover and its SuperCam microphone when recording the sounds of a Martian dust devil passing overhead on 27 September 2021, the 215th Martian day or sol of the mission. The dust devil was 25 metres wide and at least 118 metres high, moving at a speed of approximately 19 km/h. This is the first time such a recording has been made, as capturing a dust devil requires a bit of luck. Indeed, it flew over the rover at a time when all of Perseverance's sensors measuring wind, pressure, temperature and dust, plus the NavigationXXX (Navcam) camera, were running. This allowed scientists to combine sounds, images and atmospheric data. The unique combination of this data, along with atmospheric modelling, enabled researchers to estimate the dimensions of the dust devil. Scientists cannot accurately predict when these vortices will occur. Rovers such as Perseverance and Curiosity monitor them regularly. When scientists notice that they are more frequent at a certain time of day or approaching from a certain direction, they focus their monitoring to try to capture a dust devil with all the sensors at their disposal. > To better understand the video, it shows three rows of images: - the row

3 questions to Marie Delaroche, 3ᵉ year student and MDRS 293 crew commander

Since February 18, seven ISAE-SUPAERO engineering students have been living a simulated Martian life and carrying out experiments in collaboration with CNES and several research laboratories at The Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in UTAH (USA)! For the second time, the mission is led by a woman: Marie Delaroche, a passionate #spaceexplorer, who was already part of crew 275 departing in 2023. We asked her 3 questions to find out more about the challenges of this mission and her feelings as #flightcommander! Alongside her, three young women and three young men in their 2ᵉ year of #engineering studies have taken on the roles of astronomer, scientist, botanist, journalist, health worker and onboard engineer. They are all members of the Mars Club ISAE-SUPAERO, a student association for the popularization of science focused on the Red Planet and the missions dedicated to its exploration and study. They are currently experimenting with AI4U, the artificial intelligence that assists astronauts in their daily tasks (environmental measurements, voice recognition, emergency exercises). They are also conducting a science popularization experiment in collaboration with secondary school pupils. Inspired by the film The Martian, in which an astronaut grows potatoes on the Red Planet, the aim of this experiment is to compare plant growth in Martian soil with growth in terrestrial soil!

  • Identify the needs of each project/team
  • Help with market identification
  • Help with setting up a company (articles of association / registered office / accommodation)
  • Provide legal support and validate feasibility (PACTE law / Intellectual Property)

The Incubation Phase

  • Support from ideation to prototype: technology / business / communication / strategy
  • Stabilise the company from inception to market launch
  • Increase technological and business maturity
  • Coaching
  • Provide access to the Institute's technical resources (agreement with the technical departments)
  • Prototype

ISAE-SUPAERO's Entrepreneurship Services

The primary mission of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department (SIE) is to structure the Institute’s Entrepreneurship services.

The services implemented by the SIE include the following opportunities and processes.

Initial Selection of Projects

InnovSpace is aimed at startups and companies less than 3 years old. It is positioned upstream of incubators, accelerators, and other players. The support package is designed to get startups off the ground.

Project leaders can apply throughout the year. Applications are processed on a confidential basis. Project leaders submit their application to the SIE team.

There are two possible scenarios:

Student Projects

Project promoters contact the members of the SIE on their own initiative. A standard application form is completed with a brief description of the projects. Project promoters submit their application to the SIE team.

The application is a standard document (see Appendix 1 - Application for support) which summarises the following elements: team, problem to be solved, project, and summary business approach.

SIE contacts the project owner(s) and proposes an initial interview. This interview serves to identify the entrepreneurial potential of the project owner(s), the relevance of the project, and its economic potential.

The project promoter must present all or some of the following elements:

  • The team and human resources requirements (skills)
  • A clear and precise explanation of the project
  • The legal characteristics of the company being interviewed
  • The target market
  • Potential future partners
  • The competitive advantage
  • The innovative nature of the project
  • A preliminary review of the existing competition
  • Traction, initial achievements
  • Expectations of the incubation programme

NB: no financial forecast is required at this stage.

Projects Led by Faculty

For faculty, the entrepreneurial process is more complex, in particular because the process is not the responsibility of the SIE but of the ISAE-SUPAERO Business Office and the local SATT (Toulouse Tech Transfer - TTT) under a specific agreement.

An initial meeting between the project leader, the Business Department, SIE, and TTT is necessary in order to define the scope of the product and the terms and conditions of the development.

SIE is involved in all matters relating to the implementation of the Loi Pacte (application to set up a company / participation in governance / scientific competition).

A process for applying this law has been set up by SIE within ISAE-SUPAERO.

Before considering an entrepreneurial project, a faculty member must make an official request to the Institute's President in order to comply with the legal conditions of the Loi Pacte (in particular, the development of his or her product must precede his or her request to participate in a company / scientific competition).

An official request, set up by SIE, has been created for this purpose (see Appendix 2). This application is used to assess the relevance of the project and the action to be taken.

A summary business plan is required for faculty; this should make it possible to assess the viability of the project, the strategic vision of the entrepreneur, and the interest for the institution in authorising the applicant to be made available.

Evaluation, Guidance and Selection of Projects

In order to check the eligibility of the project, two assessments – technological and economic – are carried out by the members of SIE, in coordination with the technical departments of ISAE-SUPAERO and external consultants if necessary for the economic part.

An initial filter (‘first interview’) is carried out by SIE; if the project is deemed irrelevant, it is not retained for incubation without further reference.

If the project is validated (‘first selection’), the project leaders then present their project to the Innovation Steering Committee (‘second interview’), which makes a decision on incubation at InnovSpace.

In the event of a favourable response, the project promoters then sign the following documents in succession with the establishment:

  • A domiciliation authorisation, depending on the needs of the project leader
  • A temporary occupancy agreement between the Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO and the startup once it has been created
  • An incubation agreement with SIE

A distinction is made between domiciliation and accommodation. Given the upstream nature of the projects, the Institute systematically offers start-ups domiciliation (assistance with the creation of the company by providing a postal address within ISAE-SUPAERO).

Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department (SIE)

At ISAE-SUPAERO, the innovation and entrepreneurship department (SIE) helps students, alumni and ISAE-SUPAERO staff to carry out their projects, particularly during the upstream”phase. This key stage involves formalising the idea, drawing up an action plan, and seeking funding.

The aim of this service is to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skills among students and staff, and to encourage the creation of businesses by members of the Institute’s community, particularly startups in the Aeronautics, Space and Defence (ASD) sector and impact startups.

SIE plays a part in the innovation dynamic of the aeronautics industry and the Occitan region by offering those involved access to knowledge (technology transfer), experts, and research and testing facilities.

A permanent link is maintained between the research departments and SIE, both for the detection phase, the development phase, and the provision of technological expertise (initial feasibility study of projects proposed for incubation). In addition, SIE benefits from the services of an innovation lecturer (a recently recruited full-time multientrepreneur), as well as a 3D design engineer dedicated to innovation.

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department is responsible for :

  • creating an entrepreneurial dynamic by developing an entrepreneurial mindset and skills among students and staff, and by encouraging the creation of businesses by members of the Institute’s community, in particular deep-tech startups in the aeronautics, space, and defence sector
  • contributing to the innovation dynamic of the socioeconomic fabric in which the Institute is embedded (aerospace industry, Occitan region) by offering its players, particularly startups and SMEs, access to knowledge (technology transfer), expertise (trainees, scientific experts), or scientific and technical resources (research and testing facilities)
  • managing the InnovSpace, the Fablab and the Institute’s incubator.

It meets quarterly and brings together the heads of the Department of Research and Pedagogical Resources, the Department of Advancement and Innovation and the Department of Studies.

Our IE Policy in Detail

Incubation Methods

The incubation programme enables incubatees to benefit from:

  • Longitudinal support (personalised support from before the company is set up, for a maximum period of three years) from an experienced team with a variety of profiles, including a support manager as the main contact for students and a business manager for lecturers
  • Access to an acceleration programme consisting of individual and group training courses and events (workshops led by external experts, industrialists, alumni, networking events, and conferences)
  • Turnkey, standardised office acommodation in an 800m2 environment with private offices, open-plan offices, laboratories, meeting rooms, a social area and a cafeteria
  • A community of entrepreneurs from ISAE-SUPAERO to share experience and exchange best practices
  • Privileged access to dynamic aeronautics, space and defence ecosystem and to numerous players, public research institutions, French and European investors, and expert partners (French Tech / Aerospace Valley / Réseau Curie / AD’OCC / PAD’OCC / Lanceur d’étoiles)
  • Prototyping support for deep-tech startups using FabLab and ISAE-SUPAERO laboratory resources 
  • Access to internal funding via the Foundation’s grants (Jeunes Pousses Entrepreneuriat grants, i.e. up to 4 annual grants of €3,500 each), internal funding from ISAE-SUPAERO (Extracurricular Committee), the Lopez-Loreta Foundation prize (annual prize of €1 million)
Accommodation and Domiciliation

Domiciliation is a service provided free of charge to project initiators before they set up a business, to enable them to have a postal address at which to set up their business. The domiciliation is renewable annually after the company has left the incubator.

Accommodation is provided under a temporary occupation permit (AOT) for a period of one year, tacitly renewable twice, for a maximum of three years.

The following services are offered:

  • Permanent access to the Fablab
  • Startup space with tables, chairs, cupboards, computer screens, minimal office equipment
  • Wifi, ISAE-SUPAERO Internet address
  • Relaxation room
  • Free access to printers
  • 1 meeting room dedicated to startups
  • Access to the Institute's technical and sports facilities
  • PC with business software (3D design)

Longitudinal Monitoring

Longitudinal monitoring and the support programme complement each other and operate in parallel.

Longitudinal monitoring involves mapping the development of entrepreneurial projects from the idea stage through to the end of the incubator.

Its purpose is firstly to collect the individual and collective needs of each of the projects and teams, and then to put in place an ad hoc joint (training/workshops/conferences) and individual (one-to-one support) support programme.

A comparison is systematically made between the initial measure, the intermediate measures and the final measure.

The measurement is carried out mainly on three dimensions:

  • Team: company culture, distribution of roles, values, iniative, multidisciplinarity
  • Project: type of company, field of activity, development strategy, experience, skills, technology, impact/responsible innovation
  • Business: organisation, financial resources, market approach, business model

The Acceleration Programme

The support programme is tailor-made for each startup, based on the longitudinal assessment and the expression of needs that emerge from each interview.

The programme is complemented by events ('InnoEvents') that include conferences and feedback from deep-tech entrepreneurs.

Individual Support

As part of the individual support package, each startup will be given time off to work on demand. This involves individualised follow-up coaching with a mentor teacher and/or follow-up coaching by mentors, players or specialists in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Group Support

As part of collective support, startups benefit from educational sessions in the form of workshops to acquire the common technical bases required to set up a business startup or takeover project and assistance with prototyping for those who require it.

Why should you be interested in setting up your own business? Because it's a way of revealing your potential, realising a dream, or solving a problem that has no solution. Setting up a business involves a phase of questioning and exploration. The potential entrepreneur starts with an idea that is more or less precise, but:

  • Are there really interested customers?
  • What characteristics should the product or service have?
  • How do we position ourselves in relation to the competition?
  • How can the necessary technical, financial and human resources resources?
  • Who are the partners?

The Fondation ISAE-SUPAERO's Young Start-up Grants, funded by Jean L. Lamy, help finance this upstream phase!

Who can Apply?

All engineering students (including work-study students), Masters, Advanced Masters® and PhD students. Team applications are also welcome.

Preference will be given to projects in the fields of Aeronautics, Space, Defence and Impact.

Grant Amount 

In 2025, there will be 6 grants (maximum 4 per session) of €3,500 each, paid as follows:

  • 2,000€ at the end of the selection panel, after signing a letter of commitment
  • 1,500 at the end of the project, after submission and acceptance of the final report

Last Updated On

Committed to innovation, we are passionate and dedicated to providing everyone with the keys to training, researching, initiating, innovating, and pursuing entrepreneurship!

Incubation at ISAE-SUPAERO

Our Incubator

Thanks to its innovation efforts, ISAE-SUPAERO has been a member of RéSO IP+ (RésO Incubateurs Pépinières +), the network of incubators and nurseries in the Occitanie region that brings together support and accommodation structures for high-potential business creators, since 2023.

The Institute now has privileged access to all RéSO IP+ events, to the sharing of best practices, and to the expertise required to support startups.

In recent years, ISAE-SUPAERO has developed a range of services and comprehensive support for its project leaders, which has earned it the title of incubator.

Startups incubated within Innvospace benefit from the accommodation and incubation space located on the first floor of the building, which can currently house eleven startups. This incubation area is strictly reserved for them.

Our FabLab

InnovSpace: a Place for Creativity, Meetings, and Exchanges

Located at the heart of the ISAE-SUPAERO campus, InnovSpace is both a fablab and an incubator.

Its aim is to encourage innovation and collaboration within the Institute.

With its 800m² of workshops, open spaces, meeting rooms, and offices, InnovSpace fosters technological innovation and supports students and staff in all types of projects and entrepreneurial ventures.

The workspace is equipped with a wide range of facilities and is a place of exchange, creativity, and innovation for everyone on campus.

The incubator has the capacity to house up to 11 startups by 2025 and its ambition is to be able to support up to 20 startups a year. Two permanent Fablab managers are on hand to help project leaders develop their skills and actively contribute to the prototyping of DeepTech startups.

The Ambition of Our Fablab

The aim of the InnovSpace Fablab is to provide users with the machines, software, and skills they need to create prototypes and bring their projects to fruition. The aim is to give users (teachers and students at ISAE-SUPAERO) the opportunity to build things themselves and to develop their skills.

It hosts a variety of events: initiations, creativity workshops, technical programmes, project reviews, etc. offered in-house or by partners.

Since 2022, InnovSpace has also been an incubator for startup companies from ISAE-SUPAERO.

The business model for the incubator part of InnovSpace does not depend on returns from the sale of shares in incubated startups. It is based on public funding and private contributions. InnovSpace has been designed as a service offering for ISAE-SUPAERO startups and spin-offs in order to create an entrepreneurial dynamic within the Institute.

InnovSpace Offers

InnovSpace has two separate areas:

  • The prototyping area or Fablab, including:
    • Workshops for 3D printing and design, vinyl cutting, laser cutting, hot-wire cutting, digital embroidery, carpentry, video, electronics, sewing, and concurrent engineering
    • Spaces for creativity, collective working, work, study, and exhibition
    • A digital laboratory including an AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality) space, a concurrent engineering space, and a video studio
    • An outdoor storage area
  • A space for hosting and incubating projects and startups.

InnovSpace is responsible for initiating entrepreneurial projects from ISAE-SUPAERO (students, faculty, and alumni), primarily in the field of Deep Tech. Its aim is to be a high-impact deep-tech incubator.

It offers a full range of services for innovative projects: from the creativity phase to the creation of a company, including the design and prototyping of the first versions of products.

Three full-time staff work alongside InnovSpace users to manage the FabLab and support entrepreneurial projects. Support for entrepreneurial projects is provided by three staff members, backed up by a wide range of specialist consultants and temporary staff.

François du Cluzel

The aim of SIE and InnovSpace is to enable the Institute's staff and the startups that emerge from it to develop their skills. For these startups, this means approaching markets and developing technological maturity, from the seed stage to prototyping, benefiting in particular from the Institute's human and technological environment!

Four Great Names Embody our Agora

The ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation supported the initiative of three ambassadors who were keen to call on alumni, former directors and executives of the Safran Group to make a collective donation to inscribe in the Agora space the names of four great engineers who have marked the history of the Group and of aeronautics:

  • Pierre Faurre
  • Jean-Louis Gérondeau
  • René Ravaud
  • Joseph Szydlowski

This unprecedented initiative raised €102,000 from 100 donors, and is the very first naming operation on campus!
