Thursday October 16, 2025

Participate in the round table around the book "Manuel de l'engénieur du XXIème siècle" to question the role of engineers' skills and soft skills in the face of climate and societal challenges.

On Thursday 16 October 2025, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., take part in the round table "The engineer of the 21st century: from theory to practice".

According to the study "ClimatSup INSA: Training the Engineer of the 21st Century" (Shift Project & group INSA), only 26% of the trainings in 2019 addressed socio-ecological issues in the compulsory courses of engineering schools.

In addition, 78% of the engineers interviewed felt that their studies had not sufficiently prepared them for these issues, and 95% felt that they should be included in initial training.

  • In the face of climate and societal challenges, what technical skills and soft skills need to be developed?
  • How can socio-ecological issues be better integrated into engineering training?
  • How to support these future actors in accelerating the transition?

To explore these issues:

  • Vincent Brunie, Director of INSA Rennes,
  • Pascal Ray, President of Centrale Lyon,
  • Cécile Renouard, President and co-founder of the Transition Campus,
  • Élodie Binois & Victor Loiseau, co-pilots of the CEC Academic World Convention.

The evening will end with a friendly cocktail to extend the exchanges.

Come many, many!
