Skills-based sponsorship 

Companies can make their expertise and know-how available for projects of general interest. For example, skills-based sponsorship allows professionals to contribute to educational and research projects.

In-kind sponsorship

Opportunity to repurpose and reuse equipment or resources that are no longer needed by the company but may be of great educational value to the school. For example, donating computer equipment, laboratory equipment, or industrial machinery allows the school to modernize its facilities and provide students with state-of-the-art tools without having to bear the high costs of purchasing new equipment. 

Corporate sponsorship allows companies to benefit from tax deductions: 60% of your donation is deductible from corporate income tax, up to a limit of €20,000 or 0.5% of turnover. This means that a donation of €100,000 costs you only €40,000.

🔗 More information about the chairs

Training chairs

Training chairs enable companies to contribute directly to education by partnering with a key theme (e.g., sustainable design, energy transition, etc.). They promote exchanges between professionals and students through teaching, projects, visits, or conferences.

Expert sponsorship

Companies can also make shorter-term commitments by sponsoring a module or teaching unit: sharing expertise, case studies, professional immersion, or mentoring.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The EGR engineer is capable of:

• Ensuring the safety of people and resources, respect for the environment and compliance with regulations.
• Integrate risk management into overall management,
• Act as a liaison between the company's various contacts,
• Contribute to the development of production processes: energy management, clean processes, etc.
• Integrate the product approach: innovation, eco-design approach, and life cycle.
