The two establishments have decided to join forces to form a polytechnic engineering school, positioned both on industrial themes of the future energy, digital and on Earth, life and environmental sciences, at the heart of today's challenges. ESIEE-Amiens is positioned as a school that trains generalist engineers at the crossroads of the energy, digital and ecological transitions.
UniLaSalle is active in the fields of Earth, life and environmental sciences. We will be able to offer our students transdisciplinary courses, where digital technology will be applied to the major fields of Earth, life and environmental sciences and vice versa.
This complementarity also promises great synergies for teaching and research, particularly on the issue of energy, a key sector and major challenge for sustainable development. Together, ESIEE-Amiens and UniLaSalle will demonstrate remarkable complementarity and master a very broad spectrum of skills in these fields, offering a verticality quite unique in the French higher education landscape.
Through this merger, we are writing a new page in our history and are ready to tackle the challenges of the transition towards a more sustainable world".
For this reason, UniLaSalle and ESIEE-Amiens have decided to merge by joining the worldwide network of La Salle Universities: a strategy that is both local and global and that responds to the competitive challenges of higher education and research. A choice for the future for young people first of all, with the desire to offer them diversified career paths for the dynamics of our schools and their employees". But an engineering school is also a player in economic development, and we will of course be keen to put this new dynamic at the service of the regions and companies in our sectors".
