The IMT Mines Alès school ticks all the boxes. Out of more than 2000 establishments in the running, the engineering school is even in the top 150 in the world and the top 10 in France according to certain sustainable development objectives.
The environmental transition is the No. 1 challenge of the school’s 2023-2027 strategic plan, which translates into concrete Eco-campus actions, the reduction of greenhouse gases and water consumption, soft mobility and preservation of biodiversity. “We must root the environmental transition at the heart of our actions. Together, we are working to meet this strategic challenge which we will achieve thanks to an ambitious action plan and investments”concludes Assia Tria, the director.
