ENSTA Bretagne advocates open-mindedness, tolerance and diversity and leads initiatives to reduce inequalities and combat all forms of discrimination.
Bullying prevention and response
As a higher education institution, ENSTA Bretagne is committed to suppressing all forms of bullying, harassment, discrimination and violence. The fact that no serious matter has ever been reported at ENSTA Bretagne does not mean that cases of bullying, harassment or discrimination may not occur in the future. Since 2018, the ENSTA Bretagne administration has implemented a proactive policy that encompasses everyone: engineering students, PhD students, staff members and, more generally, anyone on the ENSTA Bretagne campus. The aim is to ban any behavior that might violate anyone’s dignity on the basis of their gender, origin, status (civilian/military), religion, physical appearance, disability, sexual orientation or philosophical beliefs.
Gender equality in the workplace
As the cornerstone of a fair and just society, gender equality is a constitutional principle. In 2020, ENSTA Bretagne reiterated its commitment by signing an establishment agreement on gender equality in the workplace, which lays down the various provisions and specific measures for advancing in terms of equality in the workplace
The measures are primarily aimed at:
- Raising awareness, preventing and combating discrimination, harassment and violence
- Guaranteeing equality in the recruitment process and compensation systems (2023 figures on pay gaps can be downloaded here)
- Promoting equal access to vocational training and career advancement
- Guaranteeing equal working conditions and striving for a harmonized balance between work and family responsibilities.
Disability: providing support and changing our perception
Only a few years ago, access to higher education for young people with disabilities was still nearly impossible. Legislation has evolved and has imposed a change in practices so that students and staff members can rest assured that their disability will be accommodated and their place of study or work will be adapted accordingly.
At ENSTA Bretagne, two disability advisors, one for staff and the other for students, have been trained.
- The staff concerned are assisted by the occupational physician in adapting their work stations or work schedules....
- The students concerned are welcomed and supported throughout their studies, and assistance is provided according to their needs (material adjustments, special arrangements, exam adjustments, etc.).

CHECK OUT THE STUDENT DISABILITY GUIDE:
Each year, a disability awareness day is organized on campus in partnership with local associations and organizations.
Students also regularly conduct projects. For example: “development of an adapted sea kayak”, “design and development of a horse riding system for quadriplegics”, etc.
Raising awareness, providing guidance, dispelling stereotypes
Arousing the interest of children for science, encouraging, raising awareness, providing guidance, dispelling stereotypes… the staff and students do their share. Numerous complementary initiatives are organized: for several years now, nearly one hundred students have been jointly supervising scientific experiments in primary schools. The children enjoy the opportunity to handle, observe and understand a phenomenon.
Stimulating young women’s interest for engineering
The proportion of women at ENSTA Bretagne is on the rise yet there is still much room for improvement: women account for 20 to 25% of the student body, depending on the training levels and the majors selected.
The women-in-engineering awareness day “100 femmes, 100 métiers : ingénieure demain !”: Every year, at the request of UIMM, ENSTA Bretagne organizes an awareness day targeting female high school students following a scientific track, to introduce them to the wide range of engineering careers and convey the message that there is a strong demand from businesses for greater gender balance in their teams. The school is also committed to ensuring gender balance in all of its information campaigns and guidance initiatives.
ENSTA Bretagne stands for open-mindedness, tolerance and diversity and leads initiatives to reduce inequalities and combat all forms of discrimination.
