Under the supervision of the French Ministry of Armed Forces and, in particular, the Direction Générale de l’Armement (Defense Procurement and Technology Agency), (as are 3 other graduate schools: the Ecole Polytechnique, ENSTA ParisTech and ISAE-SUPAERO), its organization and operation are governed by the French Defense Code ((articles R3411-57 to R3411-82).
ENSTA Bretagne is linked to its governing ministry by a "Contrat d’Objectifs et de Performance" (a five-year Performance and Objectives Contract) which sets out the strategic objectives for the school for the period 2022 – 2026, as well as the means required to succeed in this quest.
3 school governing body meetings are held every quarter with the school’s executive team to check that all is running smoothly and that the school has obtained its objectives: the Council , the Training Board, and the Research Board.
In addition, there are status meetings with professionals from industry by sector or speciality in order to consult, prospect and keep up to speed with their requirements in terms of skills and R&D. This is just one example of how the school continuously satisfies stakeholder requirements in accordance with its quality policy certified ISO 9001 (2015 version).
The Council
ENSTA Bretagne is governed by the Council composed of 25 members:
- 9 State representatives
- 8 external members, representing higher education and civilian society, 4 of whom have been designated due to their qualities and skills in professional sectors which correspond to those of the school
- 8 staff and student representatives
The President of the school, the financial controller and the accounts officer attend the Council sessions in an advisory capacity.
By Decree of the President of the Republic dated March 6, 2024, Mr. Laurent Giovachini, Deputy CEO of Sopra Steria, has been appointed Chair of the ENSTA Bretagne Board of Directors. He has also been re-appointed in his position as Chair of the ENSTA Paris Board of Directors.
