Philippe Brun, CL 178, Major Donor 

Philippe Brun"Given its ambition and scope, the ELF program represents a major milestone for our community in its support of the education of Gadzarts. I have decided to provide significant support for this initiative because industry in general—and French industry in particular—needs (among other things) Arts et Métiers engineers Arts et Métiers recover and reinvent itself. I therefore wanted to contribute to this wave of renewal, convinced that everyone can—and must—commit to the future of our School, the education of young Gadzarts, and our community. Strengthening a School that has shaped us—both through the richness of its education and its shared values—is a fitting way to give back and a natural contribution to the institution.”

"It was only natural for us to choose to partner with the Bordeaux and Lille campuses as part of the Evolutive Learning Factories program, through a skills-based sponsorship initiative. For us, contributing to the training of young engineers is not an option—it is a responsibility. French and European industry needs men and women who can understand systems as a whole, integrate quality and customer satisfaction requirements, and build an industry that is more environmentally friendly and centered on the people working on the front lines."
