Government authorities in France encourage educational institutions to play an active role in society and we at ESIGELEC are committed to it. Whether it is improving the ratio of female students, providing facilities for individuals with special needs or providing scholarships for certain student audiences, we are doing our best. Sustainable actions are well and truly a part of everything we do at ESIGELEC, and all our actions are four-fold – commitment, performance, respect and mutual-assistance.
ESIGELEC, a signatory to the Gender equality in educational institutions charter with the education board of Rouen, has at all times, reinforced its commitment to gender equality. Over the last ten years, there has been a significant rise in the number of female students interested in engineering studies in our school and we intend to keep this going. On March the 8th, each year, Women’s Day, a talk on why engineering is a good career option for women is organised jointly by ESIGELEC, INSA-Rouen, CEIS, ESITPA and the education board of Rouen. Similar events are also conducted by ESIGELEC in conjucntion with Elles Bougent, an organisation that works towards the same cause (http://www.ellesbougent.com/regions/normandie/)
Diversity, a core value at ESIGELEC, includes students with special needs.
Disability is not a restricting factor to be successful and can enhance understanding and empathy among fellow humans, ESIGELEC takes individuals with special needs into consideration at all stages of his/her experience at our school: adapted facilities during the admission process, awareness among students and staff, a contact point for any issues students with disability may face. Our campus is also built keeping in mind individuals physical disabilities.
Our research labs also work on projects to improve the lives of those with disability.
Various student initiatives are also undertaken, along with those of our teaching, research and other staff members, that make society at large more inclusive. ESIG’ Computer refurbishes computers and donates them to schools and other organisations in need of such material. STOP, works on creates awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving. BSBG, is an association that promotes sustainable development and green initiatives. First aid workshops, theatre to promote inclusivity, assistance for academically weak students are some other areas where are students contribute actively to make the world a better place!
The IRSEEM (Institut de Recherche en Systèmes Electroniques Embarqués – Research Institute for Embedded Electronic Systems) was founded in 2001 by ESIGELEC. IRSEEM's activity clusters combine their skills in electronics, automation and computing within partnership research programmes in order to provide innovative and sustainable systems integration solutions. IRSEEM is an Equipe d'Accueil-certified reception team (EA 4353) providing joint supervision with the University of Rouen Normandy.
IRSEEM's activity is focused on a common research theme: Cyber-physical systems in severe environments. The laboratory's mission is to conduct systems-oriented research while co¬vering the complexity and transdisciplinarity of research and develop¬ment subjects. Its activity is structured around three clusters:
- Automation & Systems cluster: robust system control, robust diagnostics/prognostics, estimation
- Electronics & Systems cluster: electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, microwave frequency components and circuits, microelectronics, power electronics
- Instrumentation, Computing & Systems cluster: vision and localisation, embedded software, autonomous mobility, multi-agent cooperative systems
In addition to these three clusters, the laboratory has a Re¬search and Development Innovation Service (SIRD).
SIRD supports economic actors in the innovation and R&D process. We are here to help companies and researchers put in place a complete chain for evaluating needs and knowledge.

Well-equipped classrooms for different batch sizes, state-of-the art labs, a well-stocked library, a cafeteria, the greenery surrounding the campus, various meeting points for students, make your day on campus a productive and fun-filled one.
The campus comprises 5 amphitheaters, of 420, 250, 250, 120 and 100 seats respectively, 14 seminar halls, 10 labs and 5 research rooms, a self-service language multimedia system and a library with more than 6000 books, periodicals and journals. A second building is entirely dedicated to the business services, and a third one at the IRSEEM. Top notch Testing and measurement facilities are made available to researchers at the Innovation Transfer facility and on the technological platforms in the Embedded Systems Integration Campus (CISE). Students get a first-hand experience by way of practical training, using these facilities.
The campus is Wi-Fi enabled and several student services are digitized: collaborative platforms like Google Applications, online courses, the academic calendar and course time-tables and a robust administrative platform handles admissions, attendance, online payments, scores, reports, resit exams, attestations and access for parents to the scores and attendance of the students.
Once you leave the portals of our school, we will be delighted to have you with us, on EIGELEC Alumni! Our Alumni play an important role in helping promote the school on an international stage, through their active involvement in leading local alumni engagement initiatives, sharing insights and experiences with fellow alumni, students, and friends of ESIGELEC.
