The ELF events will bring the Arts et Métiers campuses to life with a series of webinars, tours, and meetups designed to highlight the program and rally new supporters.
After several successful editions, the traditional ELF evening is evolving and taking on a new dimension. This year, make way for the ELF events, a highlight taking place from December 5 to 14, 2026, designed to introduce as many people as possible to the program Evolutive Learning Factories.
An event organized by the school, the Society of Engineers “ Arts et Métiers ,” and the Foundation Arts et Métiers
Jointly organized by the school, the Society of Engineers Arts et Métiers , and the Foundation Arts et Métiers, this national event will bring all campuses together around a single goal: to highlight the achievements of the ELF program and strengthen the momentum of support behind it. Over the course of ten days, each campus will host several events for alumni, parents, partners, and anyone interested in learning about the transformations underway at the institution. At the heart of the program: campus webinars that will revisit the ELF program’s vision, showcase a flagship campus project, and highlight achievements within the training plants. These opportunities for discussion will be complemented by other local initiatives: tours of training platforms, meetings with donors, coffee breaks with staff, workshops with students, and breakfasts with institutional partners.
An important milestone in the fundraising effort
Beyond raising awareness, the ELF events have a broader goal: to mobilize new financial support for the program. The 2025 edition of the fundraising campaign reaffirmed the commitment of the entire community. Nearly 1,000 contributing alumni participated in the collective effort, raising €2.7 million in 2025—for a total of more than €5.2 million since the campaign’s launch in 2024. These results are already supporting the implementation of numerous projects on campus and contributing to the gradual rollout of ELF initiatives throughout the institution.
The ELF events will conclude on December 14 with a national closing webinar, during which the week’s highlights and future prospects will be shared.
