IMT is strongly committed to inclusivity and actively supports individuals with disabilities, ensuring an equitable and accessible environment for its personnel and students alike. IMT demonstrates its commitment through various research projects aimed at advancing inclusivity and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

Afternoon events, in hybrid format, are open to the public upon registration. The program included:  

2 pm – 3.45 pm | ROUND TABLE (in French): “Innovative integration solutions for industrial companies”

• Hosted by Martine Assar
• With the AMIPI Foundation, Airbus, Naval Group, Siemens and AANAT

4.30 pm – 6 pm | CONFERENCE (in French) : “Our plural intelligences”

• Introduction by Cécile Dubarry, Executive President of IMT
• Joseph Schovanec: autistic philosopher and writer

“Intelligences have always been plural. While the arrival of so-called artificial intelligence has upset the certainty of those who mistakenly believed that there was only one type of intelligence, it is also in line with observations of human biodiversity, especially as embodied by situations of disability. Different modalities of intelligence, often invisible, are asserting themselves, weaving a new universe that’s both human and digital. If being disabled often involves being a walking human laboratory, it’s up to us to explore how this difference is also the crucible of tomorrow’s performance.”

This initiative is an annual national event showcasing the professions and innovations of French industry. It aims to connect young people, students and the general public with industrial sectors and promote the careers of tomorrow.

As every year, IMT and its technological universities actively contribute to this event with a varied program of activities, round tables, webinars and conferences.

France 2030 objectives: decarbonizing our industry

IMT wins a new CMA (Skills and Professions of the Future) call for projects as part of France 2030!

The winning project, MEDEI (Skills and Professions for an Accelerated Decarbonization of Energy and Industry ), aims to meet the challenges of reindustrialization and the energy transition in France, by supporting the training of new profiles in sectors of the future linked to decarbonizing industry.

This ambitious project, with a budget of €8.35 million, including €4 million from France 2030, will enable the creation and modernization of 35 training programs, deployed throughout the country (including in Brittany, Pays de la Loire, Occitanie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France) and ranging from three-year to eight-year degrees, to qualify more than 10,000 learners in 4 years!

A national network of experts dedicated to training and decarbonization

The project will also facilitate the creation of a national network of public and private players mobilized to train decarbonization experts, including:

• IMT schools: IMT Atlantique, IMT Mines Alès, IMT Mines Albi, Mines Saint-Etienne, IMT Nord Europe and IMT Business School
• In association with IFP School, INSTN, ISTP, IUT Poitier-Niort-Chatellerault, IUT de Nantes and several Campuses of Professions and Qualifications of Excellence (CMQE).

Launched in 2021, the first season of the “Skills and Professions of the Future” call for projects (AMI CMA) selected 121 projects designed to transform the French training system in line with the objectives set out in the France 2030 investment plan, three of which were submitted by IMT. les objectifs assignés au plan d’investissement France 2030, dont 3 portés par l’Institut Mines-Télécom.

« It is with great pride that I take the helm of IMT, which brings together centuries-old establishments alongside younger schools, all driven by the same desire for excellence to meet the needs of the French economy. Together with Institut Mines-Télécom teams, we will write a new chapter to continue to strengthen our commitment to ecological, industrial and digital transitions and foster academic excellence. » Cécile Dubarry, Executive President of IMT
