ISAE-SUPAERO's commitments
By signing this agreement, the Institute recognises the role of Higher Education and Research in the socio-ecological transition and shares the duty to set an example in building a society in tune with these issues. ISAE-SUPAERO is therefore committed to proposing a list of concrete measures to achieve these objectives: training students and staff in these issues, increasing research efforts with a view to the ecological transition, supporting our stakeholders and, of course, setting an example in terms of our impacts, etc.
This signature completes the commitments made by the Institute through its new HORIZONS strategy, which aims to mobilise teaching skills and scientific expertise to help build the aeronautical and space components of a sustainable society. This small step will probably be followed by other schools in the ISAE Group. ISAE-ENSMA, for example, is already a signatory.
As a reminder, the Grenoble Accord is the fruit of the work carried out by the COP2 Student Association. They organised working groups that met in many French higher education establishments this year (70). Two of these working groups were set up at the Institute, bringing together staff, teachers and students from ISAE-SUPAERO. Within our local groups, we can highlight some very ambitious proposals, in particular the idea of encouraging our students to think about the impact of international travel by proposing that they take responsibility by setting themselves carbon budget targets per year that they do not exceed during their course. All in a cooperative, caring and non-coercive way!
In short, this signature underlines and promotes the effervescence around environmental issues on campus and the dynamism shown by the Institute’s staff and students!
Report on the signing of the Grenoble Agreement
One month after the Grenoble Accord was opened for signature, more than 32 higher education and research establishments have officially committed themselves to the ecological transition, involving around 109,500 students!
