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’s 2024-2025 academic year: the appeal of its programmes is confirmed, and internationalisation continues

Publication Date

Category

Institute

Imbued with the pioneering spirit of the aerospace sector

ISAE-SUPAERO offers a range of courses designed to meet the major challenges facing our societies. And there’s no shortage of interest, as evidenced by the renewed attractiveness of its courses! With 356 new students this year, including 61 young women, the General Engineering course has confirmed its excellent level of recruitment. ISAE-SUPAERO continues to rank among the top engineering schools chosen by students leaving preparatory classes (No. 5 for all schools combined).

Start of the academic year 2024 ISAE-SUPAERO

As a sign of the excellence of the Institute’s research activities, 85 doctoral students are joining the campus this year. This figure, which is on the rise (there were 70 for the start of the 2023 academic year), brings the total number of doctoral students in ISAE-SUPAERO laboratories to 285.

The campus is also continuing to expand internationally, with 42% of students coming from 48 countries (up 2 points on the start of the 2023 academic year). They account for 91% of recruits to the Master in Aerospace Engineering (MAE), which has 31 nationalities among its recruits. With 168 students, this 100% English-speaking programme is at full capacity and continues to grow, despite very strong international competition. The 14 Advanced Masters® programmes welcomed 190 new students, the same number as last year.

Diversification of recruitment

Finally, the Institute is diversifying its recruitment. Thirteen of this year’s entrants to the General Engineering programme are university graduates. This diversity is also reflected in the attractiveness of the Industrial Engineering speciality apprenticeship programme. Launched in 2020 and deployed in three ISAE Group schools, this course is open to DUT/BUT (68% of recruitment this year) and licence (13% of recruitment) students, in addition to preparatory classes. For the start of the new academic year, 74 new students will be enrolled (20% of them women), including 30 on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus alone.

Figures for 2024

The ISAE-SUPAERO campus welcomes nearly 1,930 students this year:

  • 1,040 in the General Engineering programme (including 356 new students);
  • 96 in the Advanced Engineering apprenticeship programme (30 new students);
  • 315 in the Master in Aerospace Engineering programme, including 168 new students (91% of them international);
  • 190 on all 14 Advanced Masters® programmes;
  • 285 PhD students, including 85 recruited this year.

Graduates: three-quarters of students find a job before completing their studies

ISAE-SUPAERO’s training programmes ensure that young graduates find exceptional employment, in line with their expectations.

According to the Institute’s 2024 “First Job” survey, 74.5% of graduates from all courses found a job even before graduation, and 88% said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their first job. The Aeronautics/Space/Defence (ASD) sector, driven by strong growth momentum and engaged in an exceptional period of transformation, attracted 70% of our young 2023 graduates, all courses taken together. This was followed by the ecological transition (6%) and energy (5%).

ISAE-SUPAERO management: Olivier Lesbre hands over the reins to Marie-Hélène Baroux

Institute

A historic date for ISAE-SUPAERO

On Tuesday 10 September, after ten years as Director General of the Institute, Olivier Lesbre, an armament engineer, handed over the reins to his successor, Marie-Hélène Baroux. The Institute’s new Director General praised the legacy of her predecessor, who “placed the Institute at the global forefront of aerospace engineering training”. Also a weapons engineer, she will be responsible for continuing the transformation of the Institute in a context of competition and major societal changes.

“The Institute is at a very important point in its history,” said Marwan Lahoud, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ISAE-SUPAERO. “We need to reinvent both aviation in a finite world and the way we learn and teach.”

A change of dimension

These changes were initiated under the leadership of Olivier Lesbre, who was “determined to open up new horizons and develop partnerships”, emphasised Caroline Krykwinski, Director of Human Resources at the French Defence Procurement Agency (Direction Générale de l’Armement). In the space of a decade, ISAE-SUPAERO has changed dimension, “considerably enriching its range of training courses, increasing the density of its research activities and repositioning the school at international level”.

Caroline Krykwinski also paid tribute to Olivier Lesbre’s “high level of professionalism”, as his ten years at the head of ISAE-SUPAERO marked the end of a career “serving the general interest, aeronautics and the world of defence”. The now ex-CEO emphasised two points that are close to his heart: “promoting the French model of educational excellence that the preparatory classes and the Grandes Écoles represent” and “supporting the aeronautical sector by responding to the new challenges it is facing”.

Major challenges

Marie-Hélène Baroux knows all about these challenges, having served as Deputy Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO between 2019 and 2021. Aware of the Institute’s “considerable societal impact”, she also emphasised the new geopolitical issues it will have to address. She, who had a long career with the DGA, stressed “the strengthening of the Institute’s links with defence, in particular with the introduction of new courses”. She also emphasised “the consolidation of alliances with our partners in the aerospace industry”.

“In a context of rapid change, for both aeronautics and space, we have a duty to provide our industrial and technological base with engineers of the highest scientific level, who are passionate about the aerospace sector, master the complexity of systems, possess the keys to innovate and find solutions, and are aware that they are at the service of tomorrow’s society”, she insisted.

Diversification of profiles

The first woman to head ISAE-SUPAERO, she also advocates “increasing the diversity of profiles, which is difficult in the aerospace sector”: “Diversity brings richness, in the sharing of points of view and ideas, it stimulates and strengthens innovation as well as collective intelligence; I can testify to this through my own professional career”.

"If someone had told me at the start of my career that I would be doing this job, I wouldn't have believed them. But I have the impression that my career path has naturally led me here."

In the right place, at the right time: it is with serenity and “a great deal of pride” that Marie-Hélène Baroux, a general weapons engineer, has taken up her post as Director General of ISAE-SUPAERO on 1ᵉʳ August 2024. She succeeds Olivier Lesbre, who left his mark on the Institute (2014-2024).

A native of Toulouse and the mother of three children, she knows the Institut well and is very fond of it for several reasons. Her father, Jean Pinet, a test pilot on Concorde, came through Supaéro and its student clubs. Marie-Hélène Baroux partly followed in his footsteps, taking advantage of the opportunity during her studies at Télécom Paris to do her third year at the Toulouse school, where she went on to do a Master’s degree (1993).

Her name is also associated with ISAE-SUPAERO, where she was Deputy Director from 2019 to 2021. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, “I was responsible for the crisis unit and for preserving students’ living and studying conditions”, she explains. She was also responsible for implementing the Horizons roadmap, ISAE-SUPAERO’s strategy for sustainable development. It’s a subject close to her heart.

Specialist in aerospace engineering and telecommunications

But let’s go back to 1993. After completing her higher education, Marie-Hélène Baroux joined the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA), where she spent “a long career”. Her dual specialisation in telecommunications and aerospace engineering is a distinctive feature of her career, as she has held alternating positions in these two sectors. This diversity of points of view “has served her well and the projects I’ve worked on”, she says.

At DGA, she was in charge of expertise and tests in the field of electromagnetic compatibility at the Toulouse Aerospace Test Centre (CEAT, now DGA Techniques aérospatiales). As part of DGA’s Operations Division, she also took charge of the CERES programme, a constellation of three electromagnetic intelligence satellites. Four years later, as part of DGA’s strategy department, she steered the ramp-up of European cooperation on weapons programmes.

She also worked at ONERA and OCCAr (Organisation conjointe de coopération en matière d’armement), where she was responsible for setting up the cybersecurity and IT security aspects of the avionics and ground systems for the A400M military aircraft.

Solid management experience

Another special feature of Marie-Hélène Baroux’s career is that “I’ve been through all the stages of management, from small teams to project management to running a test centre”, experiences that have nurtured her thinking on management: “Working on management means working on people. Just before her appointment to the General Management of ISAE-SUPAERO, she worked in the Human Resources Department of the DGA, where her main missions were to consolidate the managerial function, transform working methods towards more collaborative working and deploy hybrid working.”

In her new role, she will be looking to train future engineers for positions of responsibility. “Engineers have an important technical role, but many of them are also involved in management.” Today’s manufacturers are keen to develop soft skills, and with the right method, we can provide a different kind of management that benefits everyone.

Engineers have an important technical role, but many of them are also involved in management. Today’s industrialists are keen on soft skills, and with the right method, we can provide a different kind of management that benefits everyone.

“Maintaining the aerospace industry’s place in the world”

Marie-Hélène Baroux has a major ally in her new role: the 2022-2026 Contract of Objectives and Performance (COP), which sets out the Institute’s strategic objectives. “It’s a very structuring document that is heading in the right direction”, she says, adding that she will be paying close attention to “strengthening certain areas”.

“First of all, there is the consolidation of our relations with defence”, she notes, emphasising the need to strengthen the Institute’s links with its supervisory ministry. “The aerospace skills of the engineers we train can play an important role in a troubled international context.”

She also emphasised ISAE-SUPAERO’s “major role” in supporting Europe’s aerospace industry: “We have a duty to provide it with the talent it needs to maintain its place among the world’s best.” She also wants to work to strengthen the Institute’s links with the space industry, “a highly competitive and rapidly changing sector”.

We have a duty to provide the European aerospace industry with the talent it needs to maintain its place among world leaders.
Marie-Hélène Baroux points to the ISAE Group, which brings together the French aeronautical and space engineering schools under a common banner, as a major asset in meeting the needs of industry for training in aeronautics and space. “The ISAE Group meets a key challenge for the aerospace industry in terms of the diversity of skills and profiles it needs. It already brings this diversity together, and in particular has created an engineering apprenticeship programme, which is very popular today”.

The rapprochement of ISAE-SUPAERO with ENAC, in a context of rapid change in the higher education landscape, will be one of his priority projects: “This rapprochement is important for thinking about the air transport of tomorrow and for developing the skills and research that the sector needs to transform itself.”

Top-level engineers to “transform our society”

In addition to the Institute’s contribution to the air transport, space and defence sectors, she also emphasises ISAE-SUPAERO’s role in training engineers capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow’s world. Training high-level engineers means preparing for the future by providing the thinking matter and talent that will help “shape the world we live in,” she stresses. The aerospace sector is often the source of cutting-edge technologies that will then permeate the whole of society. Training in aerospace engineering means seizing the opportunity to transform our society with new approaches.

The aerospace sector is often the source of cutting-edge technologies that then permeate society as a whole. Training in aerospace engineering means seizing the opportunity to transform our society with new approaches.
Finally, Marie-Hélène Baroux attaches particular importance to the diversity of profiles: “As a woman in a very male-dominated environment, I can testify to the strength of gender diversity.” As Deputy Director of the Institute, she worked closely with the Institute’s social outreach programme, OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO. “The name is well chosen. There’s a place for everyone in aerospace engineering, you just have to dare!”

This day, organised by ISAE-SUPAERO’s purchasing department in partnership with ENAC and CNRS Toulouse, is a unique opportunity to develop collaborations with suppliers on targeted purchasing projects.

A reverse sourcing approach

Speed Meeting Suppliers 2024 | ISAE-SUPAERO
For the past three years, ISAE-SUPAERO has been offering an innovative reverse sourcing format, organised by the Institute’s purchasing department. The idea? The idea is to bring potential service providers to the Institute to facilitate contacts between suppliers, specifiers and buyers.

The Supplier Speed Meeting provides an opportunity to find out more about companies’ solutions and their specific technical requirements. By adopting an innovative approach to public procurement, ISAE-SUPAERO is emphasising a targeted definition of requirements that is as close as possible to the economic offer, and that is co-constructed by the stakeholders involved in the purchasing process.

“This event is the best way to achieve quality sourcing between buyers and specifiers,” comments Anne Couderc, Head of Purchasing at ISAE-SUPAERO. “This year, we are particularly interested in purchases related to photovoltaic energy to develop our energy at the Institute, digital tools for human resources development and reused furniture”.

60 companies hosted on campus

Speed Meeting Suppliers 2024 | ISAE-SUPAERO
Sixty companies were welcomed to the ISAE-SUPAERO campus by the purchasing department’s organising team, from fields as varied as re-use furniture, photovoltaic shades, scientific equipment hire, events, co-optation schemes, IT intellectual services, etc. Institutional players, including Toulouse Métropole Emploi and the Réseau des achats durables en Occitanie (Rés’OCC), also took part in the event.

Apprenticeship tax: invest in the future by supporting ISAE-SUPAERO!

Publication Date

Category

Institute

What is the apprenticeship tax?

Apprenticeship tax (TA) is a system used to finance expenditure on apprenticeships and technological and vocational training at training establishments. It is paid by companies in two parts (the main part and the balance).

You therefore have the option of directing the balance of this tax to an accredited establishment of your choice. The main part is collected monthly. The balance is collected during two campaigns, during which you can indicate the name of the organisation receiving the balance. The law for the Freedom to Choose your Professional Future of 5 September 2018 simplifies the circuit for collecting and distributing the balance, and the TA is now deducted directly by Urssaf.

The apprenticeship tax represents a major stake for ISAE-SUPAERO: by directing the balance of your TA to the Institute, you are investing in teaching and technical resources that are essential to our learners’ projects and training!

Institute

The quality of the facilities available on campus, a student life rich in extra-curricular projects, high employability in a sector that matches their aspirations… ISAE-SUPAERO students have nothing but praise for their school! So it’s no surprise that the Institute has been awarded the HappyAtSchool® label for the second year running.

This ChooseMyCompany label is based exclusively on the opinions of students, which are collected by means of an anonymous questionnaire.

  • 89% of those questioned felt that their student life was rich in opportunities and extra-curricular activities (compared with 63% for the average school);
  • 81% felt that the quality of the facilities was commensurate with their school’s ambitions (compared with 66% for the average school);
  • 80% felt that the Institute gave them access to a professional environment that they wanted (compared with 68% for the average school);
  • 91% believe that their diploma is recognised by employers (compared with 80% for the average school).

“The boundless wealth of community life”, “the very high standard of teachers and lecturers”, “the way in which our teachers prepare us for the world of industry” and “the rich, modern and well-equipped infrastructure” were among the advantages highlighted by individual respondents.

In short, happy students at ISAE-SUPAERO!

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!

DAUR ranking

7th place for ISAE-SUPAERO

An AAA rating for ISAE-SUPAERO, which is well placed in the DAUR ranking of engineering schools for 2023! With a final score of 73, the Institute is ranked joint 7th with ENSAE Paris and Télécom Paris, two places up on the 2022 ranking. It is also the leading engineering school in the ranking outside the Paris region!

A rigorous methodology

DAUR (Data Analysis for University Rankings), an independent benchmarking platform for higher education in France, has been publishing rankings of 185 French engineering schools since 2019. It uses a robust scientific methodology, based on relevant criteria and statistical algorithms designed to eliminate bias. The data used comes mainly from SCEI statistics, Parcoursup, the CTI’s annual certification campaign and the CDEFI’s professional integration survey.

The schools are classified according to 5 criteria, harmonised according to the output sectors and the size of the establishment:

  • Selectivity: the school’s average level of student selection;
  • Employability: the value of the degree in the eyes of companies in the school’s target sectors;
  • Research: students’ interest in research when they leave the school;
  • International: the intensity of contact between students throughout their international career;
  • Alumni: the proportion of students from the last fifty years who have achieved the highest level of academic, professional, entrepreneurial or political success.

Les Entretiens de l'Excellence" event

ISAE-SUPAERO has been hosting the Entretiens de l’Excellence for 13 years. This event, organised by the association “Les Entretiens de l’Excellence”, is part of the Institute’s active commitment to equal opportunities and a continuation of the actions of the Cordée de la réussite OSE l’ISAE-SUPAERO. The 7th edition was held on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus on January 17th.

Over the course of the day, 800 secondary school students were able to meet 90 volunteer professional speakers, representing around twenty different sectors of activity (aeronautics, space, art, law, science and technology, commerce, environment and sustainable development, etc.).

The speakers shared their backgrounds, experiences and information about the different sectors and professions. Middle and high school students were also able to attend two themed workshops of their choice. For their part, parents were able to take part in workshops on careers guidance and ParcourSup run by the rectorat and local associations.

This year’s sponsor was Allan Petre, a recent graduate on placement at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Nearly 50 students from ISAE-SUPAERO, UPSSITECH and TBS took part as volunteers. A great show of solidarity for equal opportunities!

This edition of the Entretiens de l’Excellence was made possible by OSE, ISAE-SUPAERO / INP / INSA / TBS / Paul Sabatier / Mines d’Albi, the partners who ran the parents’ workshops: Rectorat de Toulouse, Pro Avenir Jeunes, JobIRL, TutoWeb Toulouse, Université de Toulouse, and the sponsor of the 2024 edition, Airbus Protect.

Arnaud Prost, ESA reserve astronaut and ISAE-SUPAERO alumnus: “I was incredibly lucky to be here”

Fighter pilot and reserve astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA), Arnaud Prost returned to his former school on Thursday March 28 to meet 200 secondary school students as part of the ISAE SUPAERO OSE program. It was an opportunity for him to recall the “great memories” of his student experience at ISAE-SUPAERO, his long-standing commitment to the student social outreach program and the “Aquanauts” scheme he set up with OSE l'ISAE-SUPAERO. And in passing, he offers a few words of advice to young people who might dream of following in his footsteps: “Don't let yourself be convinced that one of these paths isn't for you!” A 2017 graduate of ISAE-SUPAERO, Arnaud Prost is among those selected for the ESA Astronaut Class of 2022, alongside Sophie Adenot and Anthea Comellini, both also alumni of the school. They join other illustrious ESA astronauts who have already studied at the school: Thomas Pesquet, Luca Parmitano and Samantha Cristoforetti. Since 1970, ISAE-SUPAERO has contributed to the progress of the space age through its training, research and innovation activities. As the only organization in France to offer degree courses (engineering, master's, specialized master's, doctorate) covering all 22 space-related themes identified by CNES, the Institute offers a royal road to space careers.

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.
