This page presents all the useful links on ENSTA Bretagne's maritime engineering training and research.
ENSTA Bretagne has always been located in Brest. In an environment considered to be the European capital of marine science and technology, ENSTA Bretagne is the French engineering school most involved in marine engineering, both with its wide range of courses and its many additional research subjects. Every year, 180 to 200 marine engineers experts and doctor-engineers graduate from ENSTA Bretagne. They drive innovation and transformation in the marine industries, and develop new technologies for marine knowledge and environmental monitoring.

Applied research to support innovation and transformation
In the face of numerous challenges, the naval industry and the research laboratories are mobilized. ENSTA Bretagne’s research teams are leading programs in mechanical sciences and information technologies aimed at decarbonizing maritime transport, extending service life and spacing out maintenance, developing renewable marine energies, and building new exploration and observation capabilities, from the coastline to the deep sea.
10 research teams involved
- In mechanical sciences, they are part of the "Dupuy de Lôme Research Institute" (IRDL) laboratory for mechanics of materials and structures, a CNRS joint research unit, member of the Carnot ARTS Institute. These research teams bring together mechanical researchers from 2 engineering schools (ENSTA Bretagne and ENIB) and 2 universities (UBS and UBO) in western Brittany. >> list of theses
- In information technology, the teams are members of the Lab-STICC laboratory, whose aim is to cover the entire information acquisition and processing chain, from sensor to knowledge, by developing new methods and innovative media, drawing on the physics of wave propagation in different media, AI and quantum physics, and including security and protection against attacks at these different stages. This joint CNRS unit comprises researchers from 3 engineering schools (ENSTA Bretagne, IMT Atlantique and ENIB) and 2 universities (UBO and UBS). >> list of theses
The IngéBlue Institute’s leading school aiming to structure the French marine engineering sector
Created in 2022 and extended in 2023, the IngéBlue Institute brings together 15 French institutions involved in marine engineering training and research.
Its objective is to amplify inter-regional synergies and the development of multidisciplinary projects to meet the needs in innovation, technological breakthroughs and ecological transition in the French and European maritime sectors.
