Our major initiatives to increase the number of women

The "Et Si Ingénieur s'Ecrivait avec un E"

This annual event, in partnership with Elles Bougent, gives secondary school students the chance to discover the inspiring careers of young female graduates who have turned to the sciences.

Every year, the round table brings together 300 young people to look at the following questions:

Engineering for women, what professions are out there?
Why is gender diversity an advantage?
How do companies go about guaranteeing gender diversity?
What fears do women have about becoming engineers?

A look back at the 2023 roundtable discussion! Find out what the seven speakers had to say.

The "Et Si Ingénieur s'Écrivait avec un E" project, led by ESIEE Paris, has been nominated for the 2023 edition of "Ingénieuses"!

Welcoming female engineering students to ESIEE Paris

At the start of each new academic year, we offer a special welcome to all female students: a friendly opportunity to find out about the initiatives to promote women undertaken by the school and to meet the Hera club, the ESIEE Paris women's network club.

They are also welcomed by the Hera club, which aims to defend gender equality and raises awareness among students of various causes such as the fight against breast cancer, men's mental health, consent, gender equality, and the fight against sexist and sexual violence.

Participation in the trophées des femmes de l’industrie awards

Since the first edition in 2011, ESIEE Paris has been a partner of the trophées des femmes de l'industrie awards for women in industry, organised by Usine Nouvelle. The aim of the ceremony is to honour the exemplary careers of women in all sectors of industry.

Le prix “début prometteurs”
Every year, ESIEE Paris gives out the “promising beginnings” award to highlight a woman's remarkable career path during her first four years of professional experience.
