ISAE-SUPAERO on the podium

58 schools took part in this year’s ChangeNOW/Les Echos START ranking, compared with 47 last year.

With numerous actions and initiatives in sustainable development and energy renovation in particular, ISAE-SUPAERO, an aeronautical and space engineering school, occupies the 2ᵉ position in the ranking. The Institute recognises this ecological and energy transition as an unavoidable requirement for all our societies in order to tackle global warming.

“All our students are trained at the Climate Fresco. Since 2015, we have been offering an environmental engineering certificate delivered as part of the ‘aircraft eco-design’ chair. We also offer 15 different modules on environmental issues, including energy and the circular economy. We also offer a course on climate and aviation, in partnership with Météo-France. Several projects to improve and complement our training courses are underway, such as the creation of a master’s degree specialising in the transition of the aviation sector.“

Emilie TOTA – Deputy President of the Institute

“What we can say, as aeronautical engineers, is that while the technological and industrial challenge is major, it is on a par with those faced by our predecessors. We now have 30 years to decarbonise air transport, and if history is any guide, it should make us optimistic about our ability to succeed.”
Olivier LESBRE – President of ISAE-SUPAERO

ISAE-SUPAERO makes a long-term commitment

ISAE-SUPAERO is placing environmental issues at the heart of its commitment through the deployment of its HORIZONS strategy. The Institute is mobilising its teaching skills and scientific expertise to help build the aeronautical and space components of this sustainable society, and in particular to invent the low-carbon air transport of tomorrow.

Its teachers-researchers, students and staff are all working towards the same goal, to meet the challenge of the ecological transition: working with all stakeholders to build a sustainable society.

ISAE-SUPAERO publishes its Aviation and Climate Report

In September 2021, the Institute published the ISAE-SUPAERO Aviation and Climate Report, which aims to provide scientific elements that are useful for understanding aviation and climate issues. This work was subjected to a specific review process, involving both ISAE-SUPAERO staff and external researchers from various institutes.
