“Doctor, tell me about your thesis in five minutes!” – The ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation Thesis Awards

Publication Date

03 February 2026

A revamped formula to promote the popularisation of and feedback from theses

For the2025 event, the format has been changed to “Doctor, tell me about your thesis in 5 minutes”. This change gives each of the winners more time to present their thesis topic in a clear, accessible and captivating way to an audience of students, researchers and ISAE-SUPAERO staff. This longer presentation time allows doctoral students to go into a little more depth than in the previous edition, which took just 3 minutes.

Set in the middle of the lunch break, this solemn event is changing the tradition of promoting research by combining scientific expertise and communication skills, an essential challenge for young researchers who aim to make their work understandable well beyond academic circles.

The 2025 winners

The five prize-winners rose brilliantly to this challenge of synthesis and pedagogy. Each of them shared the challenges, results and prospects of their research, demonstrating the diversity and excellence of the work carried out within the Institute and its partners.

By extending the format to 5 minutes, the Institute is offering young researchers a platform where they can not only present their results, but also open the doors to the world of research to students working in academia and industry.

A commitment made possible by the generosity of donors

The 2025 Thesis Awards would not have been possible without the loyal support of the donors of the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation. Through their commitment, you are actively helping to encourage scientific excellence, showcase the careers of young researchers and promote innovation in aeronautics and space. Thanks to your generosity, the Foundation can continue to support the talents of tomorrow and promote academic research at the highest level.

Discover OSE inGÉ and take part in this innovative support program for CPGE students

Publication Date

11 July 2025

OSE inGÉ in a nutshell

OSE inGÉ aims to promote student diversity (social, cultural, territorial and gender) in access to the Grandes Ecoles and the world of engineering. The scheme is aimed at female students and/or those on grants throughout their CPGE course, to help them build their plans for the future and develop their ambitions. It helps to combat self-censorship, build self-confidence and encourage the development of all potential and talent.

The commitments of the scheme

Support students throughout their CPGE years, right up to the competitive entrance exams
Guide them in developing their career plans and aspirations
Help them prepare for the oral exams

Help them to gain a better understanding of the world of the grandes écoles, scientific careers and the world of engineering
Encourage them to discover and exploit their full potential
Help them with the logistics of taking the orals

Key figures

In 2022-2023: 42 first-year CPGE science students from 3 Toulouse high schools and 42 alumni mentors!

In 2023-2024: 30 second-year CPGE students and 49 first-year CPGE students from 6 high schools in Toulouse, 76 alumni mentors!

In 2024-2025: 44 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 100 alumni mentors!

In 2025-2026: 60 second-year CPGE students and 70 students from the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, nearly 120 alumni mentors!

Our goal by 2026: to have supported 250 students from the time they start CPGE to the time they pass their competitive entrance exams!

The programme

Tailor-made mentoring

Students receive personalised, one-to-one support from an alumni mentor, depending on their availability and needs. They are supported right up to the competitive entrance exams by an alumnus of one of the schools involved who, thanks to his or her experience, support and listening skills, helps them to answer their questions and confirm their choices. The mentors receive training from experts to provide the best possible support for CPGE students under this scheme.

Immersion courses on campus

During their 2 years of CPGE, students are welcomed on campus four times. These placements are an opportunity to :

discover the campuses of higher education establishments,
talk to former CPGE students and professionals with inspiring backgrounds,
meet their mentors
consolidate their knowledge and
learn how to manage their CPGE years more effectively.

One-off initiatives

Once a year, an evening meeting with professionals is organised at each partner school.

7 partner high schools for 2024-2025

For this new academic year, we are continuing our commitment by opening 70 places in 2025 to first-year CPGE students from 7 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies:

Lycées Déodat de Séverac, Pierre de Fermat and Bellevue in Toulouse,
Lycées Théophile Gautier and Jean Dupuy in Tarbes,
Lycée Joffre in Montpellier,
Lycée Alfonse Daudet in Nîmes

In addition to OSE inGÉ, today OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO also means every year: 1,100 secondary school pupils benefiting, 36 schools in the Toulouse and Montpellier academies, more than 120 ISAE-SUPAERO students volunteering, more than 2,500 secondary school pupils met, and numerous projects.

It was Supaero that gave me my wings. Giving these young people a chance and giving them a little extra motivation is the best thing we can do.

“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.
