ISAE-SUPAERO doubles its employment rate for people with disabilities

Publication Date

13 November 2025

Category

Institute

In five years, our Institute has increased its employment rate for people with disabilities from less than 3% to nearly 6%, a result that demonstrates a strong and lasting commitment to inclusion.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the FIPHFP (Fonds pour l’insertion des personnes handicapées dans la Fonction publique), our Institute has just renewed our agreement with the Fund. Our partnership, which began in 2021, is now bearing fruit thanks to financial and strategic support that has enabled us to double the employment rate of people with disabilities within our institution.

Structured governance for concrete results

This progress is based on a structured disability policy steered by dedicated governance, bringing together the human resources department, the medical-social team and a diversity and disability manager.

“We’ve noticed that employees are now more inclined to declare their disability situation in a relationship of trust,” stresses Arnaud Ancel, head of the human resources department. “Our objective is to exceed 6% in the coming years”.

This drive is underpinned by ongoing communication and awareness-raising campaigns aimed at all staff, fostering a culture of inclusiveness within the institution.

Apprenticeships, a key route to integration

Three of the 18 apprentices who joined our services in 2025 are disabled. The FIPHFP covers a significant part of their remuneration, thereby facilitating their integration into the workforce and enhancing the diversity of our teams.

In addition to recruitment, our establishment has developed personalised support for disabled employees and ongoing awareness-raising among managers, to ensure that they remain in employment under the best possible conditions.

Training tomorrow’s engineers for inclusion

ISAE-SUPAERO’s commitment is not limited to our responsibility as an employer. Our Institute also includes the issue of disability in the training of our students, future managers and decision-makers in the aerospace sector.

Handi-management training, an escape game on dyslexia, introductions to handisport: these are just some of the initiatives that punctuate the curriculum of our engineering students and raise their awareness of the challenges of inclusion in the workplace.

Personalised management is also in place to support our students with disabilities throughout their time at the Institut.

“As a public institution, we have a dual responsibility: to be an exemplary employer and to train engineers who are aware of the challenges of inclusion,” concludes Arnaud Ancel.”

Henry DE PLINVAL, portrait of ISAE-SUPAERO’s new Director of Research and Educational Resources

Publication Date

29 September 2025

Category

Institute

Henry de Plinval arrived on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus last August, and has taken up his new post as the school's Director of Research and Educational Resources. Portrait of Henry Plinval.

Can you tell us about your background?

I began working in industry, at Safran, on inertial units: a rich experience from the point of view of technical subjects, industrial organisation, customer presence and requirements.

However, the research bug was already biting… and I decided to join ONERA in Toulouse in 2008. I then worked in automation, on different applications (aeronautics, space, naval – civil and defence), and did my thesis on vision-based UAV piloting. Later, in 2015, I was asked to become director of the UAV programme, in charge of this fascinating subject – on which ISAE-SUPAERO is also carrying out a lot of remarkable work.

In 2021, I wanted to take on more hierarchical responsibilities and I became deputy director of ONERA’s physics department: an opening onto subjects that are absolutely remarkable in their richness and technicality. I then took over as head of the low-speed wind tunnels department, a very complementary role because it is much more industrial.

Henry DE PLINVAL

I'm now at ISAE-SUPAERO, where I'm finding a lot of similarities with the various slices of life I've just mentioned! It's a great joy for me to rediscover these echoes of subjects I've come across before, to encounter both passion and excellence, and to discover and learn about dimensions I'm less familiar with.

Henry DE PLINVAL Director of Research and Educational Resources

What will your responsibilities be at ISAE-SUPAERO?

I’m in charge of the Research and Educational Resources Department. It’s an exciting role that covers a wide range of aspects. The first thing that strikes me is the quality of the people who make up this department: the human quality; the quality of the research that is carried out – often with remarkable resources; and the quality of the teaching.

My first task will be to continue to develop these qualities, but also to make them known both externally and internally. To do this, we will need to continue on the path of excellence in research and in the service of educational missions, with the considerable resources that have been allocated to them.

What issues do you consider to be priorities in your mission?

There are a number of important issues, some of which are particularly important for our business. The joint laboratory that we are building with ENAC is, of course, an essential decision that we must now make work, with the synergies and increased visibility that it will bring us.
Another key decision is the one that brings us into the dynamic of the University of Toulouse, which, here too, should see our international recognition grow even further.

Alongside these major moves, weneed to consolidate our teams, which have grown very strongly over the last ten years, and strengthen the balance between teaching, upstream research, partnerships, industrial contracts and European funding.

All of this is to ensure that we continue to be at the very top of teaching and research in the aeronautics and space fields that are our core business!

Institute

The Institute has been awarded the label "Développement Durable et Responsabilité Sociétale" (DD&RS), official recognition of its environmental and societal strategy. By obtaining this label, our school confirms its determination to make the ecological and social transition a lever for innovation in training, the transformation of industrial sectors and the evolution of practices in everyday life on campus.

L'ISAE-SUPAERO obtient le label DD&RS

Engagée de longue date dans la transition environnementale et sociétale, l’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint le cercle des grandes écoles d’ingénieurs reconnues par le label DD&RS. Une distinction qui vient couronner plusieurs années d’initiatives structurantes en matière de développement durable et de responsabilité sociétale.

Le label, qui comporte plusieurs niveaux de maturité, évalue la démarche des établissements sur cinq grands axes : gouvernance, formation, recherche, gestion environnementale et politique sociale. Ce cadre d’analyse systémique couvre l’ensemble des 17 Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD) définis par l’ONU.

Administré par le CIRSES, le label permet aux établissements engagés d’intégrer une dynamique d’amélioration continue de mutualiser les bonnes pratiques et de valoriser leurs actions à l’échelle nationale. L’ISAE-SUPAERO rejoint ainsi une communauté d’une cinquantaine d’établissements labellisés.

Pour l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, il récompense une trajectoire cohérente et ambitieuse, amorcée avec la feuille de route « Horizons » ainsi que ses engagements en matière d’inclusion, diversité et d’ouverture sociale.

Logo Label DD&RS vertical

Une démarche structurée autour de la feuille de route « Horizons »

L’obtention du label s’inscrit dans la continuité du déploiement de la feuille de route « Horizons », initiée en 2021. Ce document cadre fixait les priorités de l’Institut en matière de transition écologique, qu’il s’agisse de son offre de formation, de sa recherche, de ses pratiques administratives ou de la gestion de son patrimoine. Un groupe de travail multidisciplinaire, mobilisant personnels, enseignants-chercheurs et étudiants, a été chargé du pilotage de la démarche et de la constitution du dossier de labellisation.

L’établissement s’est notamment engagé à renforcer l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux dans les cursus de ses formations, à faire évoluer les critères de soutenabilité dans ses projets de recherche et à réduire son empreinte carbone.

« Ce label acte l’engagement collectif de l’Institut — étudiants, enseignants, chercheurs, personnels — à intégrer les enjeux de durabilité dans toutes nos activités, au sein de notre campus et autour des trois piliers de notre organisation : la formation, la recherche et l’innovation. Cette démarche globale DD&RS nous permet de mettre en avant nos actions, de les poursuivre et de les renforcer, pour progresser sur tous les axes, car c’est un projet d’amélioration continue  », déclare Emilie Tota, Directrice adjointe, en charge de la politique de développement durable et sociétale de l’Institut.

Des actions concrètes dans les programmes de formation et sur le campus

Côté formation, notre Institut a structuré une offre avec notamment une refonte complète de sa formation ingénieur pour répondre pleinement à ces enjeux. Intégration d’enseignements en ingénierie environnementale, analyse du cycle de vie, éco-conception, modélisation énergétique : nos parcours intègrent les dimensions sociétales et environnementales pour une ingénierie responsable, engagée et durable.

En parallèle, de nombreux travaux de recherche s’intègrent dans la matrice DD&RS avec des projets liés à la décarbonation tels que le Référentiel Aviation Climat, AéroMAPS, le projet Mermoz, Genhyo, la recherche en Multidisciplinary design optimization – MDO, etc.). L’ISAE-SUPAERO développe également des partenariats de recherche avec des industriels majeurs, tels qu’Airbus via la chaire CEDAR, Daher à travers la chaire ISAAR, et Thales avec la chaire ODYCéE, tous centrés sur les enjeux de la transition écologique et l’innovation technologique. Ces collaborations soutiennent une recherche appliquée visant à réduire l’empreinte carbone et à renforcer la durabilité dans le secteur aéronautique, en répondant aux défis techniques et environnementaux actuels.

Sur le campus, une politique active a été mise en œuvre : audit et rénovation énergétique des bâtiments, rationalisation des mobilités quotidiennes, développement de dispositifs de sensibilisation internes (fresques, ateliers, formation des primo-entrants). Gestion des déchets et alimentation durables accompagnent également ces actions.

Campus ISAE-SUPAERO - 17/11/2023

Un engagement sociétal affirmé

Parallèlement à sa stratégie durable, l’ISAE SUPAERO poursuit son engagement social à travers le programme OSE l’ISAE‑SUPAERO, initié en 2006. Ce dispositif d’ouverture sociale — labellisé « Cordées de la Réussite » — mobilise chaque année environ 150 étudiants bénévoles pour accompagner plus de 1 100 collégiens et lycéens issus de quartiers prioritaires ou de zones rurales. Le tutorat hebdomadaire, les ateliers scientifiques, techniques et sportifs, ainsi que les journées d’immersion visent à favoriser l’orientation scolaire, renforcer les vocations scientifiques, promouvoir les carrières scientifiques auprès des jeunes filles, et soutenir la réussite des élèves en situation de handicap. Depuis 2022, le dispositif OSE InGÉ étend cet accompagnement aux élèves de classes préparatoires, avec un mentorat individuel assuré par des alumni, stages d’immersion et soutien méthodologique pour près de 91 étudiant·es, majoritairement des femmes et des élèves boursiers.

 

L’ISAE‑SUPAERO conduit par ailleurs une politique de tolérance zéro en matière de harcèlement, de discrimination et de violences sexistes et sexuelles (HDVS), s’appuyant sur une démarche exigeante de prévention et de traitement des actes de HDVS. Depuis 2019, un plan dédié encadre des actions de sensibilisation auprès des personnels et des apprenants. Il prévoit également un dispositif de signalement, ainsi qu’un accompagnement fondé sur l’écoute active des victimes et des témoins.

L’Institut déploie en parallèle une politique soutenue en faveur de l’égalité femmes-hommes, portée par des référents et des actions structurantes.

Il affirme également son engagement en matière d’inclusion des personnes en situation de handicap à travers, entre autres, une charte et une convention contribuant à l’accompagnement des apprenants dans leurs études et leur insertion professionnelle et la compensation de la situation de handicap au travail des personnels.  

Un positionnement en cohérence avec les évolutions du secteur aéronautique

Dans un contexte de mutation accélérée de l’industrie aéronautique, la labellisation DD&RS vient consolider le positionnement de l’ISAE‑SUPAERO. En tant qu’acteur de référence dans la formation des ingénieurs du secteur, l’établissement entend conjuguer exigence scientifique et responsabilité environnementale et sociétale.

Le label DD&RS, constitue à la fois une reconnaissance institutionnelle et un cadre d’amélioration continue.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

As part of its Horizons strategy, ISAE-SUPAERO is strongly committed to taking environmental issues into account, in particular by including in the COP a target of a 25% reduction (compared with the reference year 2019) in its CO2 emissions linked to its activities, of which commuting and business travel are a component. And this is reflected in a desire to encourage the transition to and use of soft mobility in general, and cycling in particular.

Our staff and students have benefited from a number of initiatives to encourage, support and promote this mode of transport:

  • Introduction of the Sustainable Mobility Package,
  • Loan of electrically-assisted bicycles for business trips,
  • Safety training (Remise en selle, La route vue du guidon),
  • Self-service bicycle repair and inflation stations on campus,
  • Technical inspection workshops for your bikes,
  • Distribution of safety kits,
  • Replacing “wheel-clamp” parking spaces with bicycle racks,
  • Participation in the AYAV Challenge (Allons-y à vélo).
  • Pro-Vélo Employer Objective

To promote this commitment, in 2022 the Institut launched the Objectif Employeur Pro-Vélo initiative. Following a support programme and an audit based on a set of specifications covering 5 areas (management and strategy, communication and mobilisation, services, safety and equipment), we were awarded SILVER-level certification!

This result is a real recognition of the work carried out by the various departments working under the impetus and coordination of the DDRS section of the RSQMR department to take positive action on the environment, but also on the well-being of staff. In fact, the benefits are as numerous as they are beneficial! (CO2 savings, financial savings, gains in physical and mental health, time savings, gains in autonomy and flexibility, etc.).

ISAE-SUPAERO is determined to support its staff and students in cycling to and from work, and more and more of them are doing so on an occasional or regular basis!

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.

ISAE-SUPAERO publishes its carbon footprint assessment

Publication Date

22 October 2024

Category

Institute

In 2019, the Institute has drawn up a roadmap, called Horizons, to reduce its environmental impact. From campus management to integrating the decarbonisation of aviation into teaching and research, numerous actions have been identified, some of which have already been carried out or are underway.

This roadmap is linked to three COP objectives, to be achieved by 2026:

  • More than 50% of research projects targeting decarbonisation or linked to the transition to sustainable aerospace
  • More than 3,000 “sustainable development” ECTS awarded
  • Less than 8,000 tCO2e emitted per year.

The school has therefore made strong commitments.

What is the purpose of the carbon footprint?

Following the IPCC’s assessment of global warming and at COP21, the French government undertook to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Since 2012, public institutions have been legally obliged to publish their GHG emissions report every three years. As part of its Horizons plan, ISAE-SUPAERO is going even further by calculating and publishing its GHG emissions report every year. This makes it possible to monitor changes in emissions as closely as possible and to take action to limit them. What’s more, the Institute has not waited for the 2023 regulatory requirement to carry out its GHG assessment, taking into account all its activities. It has in fact been carrying out its carbon footprint since 2019, calculating the quantities of greenhouse gases emitted by all its activities under six headings: purchasing, travel, energy, fixed assets, refrigeration production and waste.

But what is a carbon footprint?

To operate and train the aerospace engineers of tomorrow, the school has to buy equipment, heat its offices, maintain its buildings and run servers; staff have to travel, use computers, send emails, hold video conferences and so on.

Each of these actions has an impact on the environment: buying equipment means using raw materials and petrol to transport it; heating offices means using the city’s heating network; using IT equipment means consuming raw materials and electricity; travelling means consuming fuel… All these activities emit greenhouse gases. The carbon footprint therefore consists of calculating the GHG emissions generated by the activity. Since carbon is the main GHG, GHG emissions are expressed in carbon equivalents (= CO2e).

The results

In 2023, ISAE-SUPAERO emitted 8,925 tCO2e. This is equivalent to driving around the world 1,160 times, and is the average annual carbon footprint of 990 French people. The 2023 target of emitting less than 9,200 tCO2e has therefore been achieved. The four main areas of emissions are purchasing, energy, travel and fixed assets.

Thanks to the many efforts made by the Institute, ISAE-SUPAERO’s emissions have been falling since 2019.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impacts of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers to decarbonize the sector! Initially designed for research and training purposes, the tool is now a multidisciplinary, open-source platform, accessible to experts as well as institutional, industrial and associative decision-makers. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), an interdisciplinary research institute headed by Laurent Joly, whose aim is to address the issue of #aviation's ecological transition in all its complexity. By playing on the sector's transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic. AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario exploration platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was then rapidly integrated into training programs: first in the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then in continuing education programs. To facilitate use of the tool, a partnership was formed with Sopra Steria. This major tech player built the platform's new web interface to enhance the user experience and make it accessible to decision-makers. Research work recently took on a socio-economic dimension with a PhD prepared by Antoine Salgas, in partnership with TBS Education. Antoine Salgas has also created a traffic and emissions inventory in collaboration with the Dutch Delft University of Technology. These two aspects of his thesis gave rise to an AeroMAPS “satellite” tool, called AeroSCOPE, which enables analyses to be partitioned and regionalized. Today, the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary aspect of AeroMAPS is a decision-making aid for the entire #aeronautics ecosystem. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the debate and to the future of aviation.
