Institut supérieur de l'aéronautique et de l'espace

Summary
The Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace (ISAE-SUPAERO; National Higher French Institute of Aeronautics and Space) is a French grande école of engineering, founded in 1909. It was the world's first dedicated aerospace engineering school and is considered to be the best in Europe in the field. The school delivers a range of science and engineering degree programs. ISAE-SUPAERO is part of University of Toulouse, ISSAT, PEGASUS, GEA, Toulouse Tech, CESAER and Aerospace Valley. Historically ISAE-SUPAERO resulted from the merger between SUPAERO and ENSICA in the summer of 2007. The aim of this move was to increase the international visibility of SUPAERO and the ENSICA (both of which depend on the French Ministry of Defense), by sharing their faculty and experimental means. The Institute also delivers continuing education through its subsidiary, EUROSAE. In 2011, ISAE founded Groupe ISAE with the engineering school, ENSMA. In 2012, Groupe ISAE was joined by ESTACA and by École de l'air et de l'espace. In January 2018, the Supméca, now called ISAE-SUPMECA, joined the group. In February 2022, the École nationale de l'aviation civile, the biggest European aviation university, also joined the group. Since its founding in 1909 ISAE-SUPAERO has produced more than 21,500 graduates. Some of them have achieved fame in their field, including: Henri Coandă, the discoverer of the Coandă effect; Henri Ziegler, father of the Airbus program; Frédéric d'Allest, first chairman of Arianespace; and Jean-François Clervoy, astronaut. ISAE-SUPAERO has the following missions: To educate engineers in the aeronautics and space fields and in related areas. To engage in scientific research and technological innovation. To deliver specialized graduate education and continuing education programs. To deliver doctoral programs and national degrees equivalent or superior to the master's degree. ISAE was created by decree 2007-1384 of 24 September 2007.
