ISAE SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni

What ISAE SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni does

ISAE SUPAERO ENSICA Alumni is a non-profit alumni association serving graduates of ISAE-SUPAERO and ENSICA, two prestigious French aerospace and aeronautical engineering schools whose institutional roots date to 1907. The current unified entity was formed around 2014 when ENSICA alumni merged with ISAE-SUPAERO alumni, and the association now maintains a directory of 30,352 alumni plus 13 partners across regional chapters in France, Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. The organization is headquartered at 10 Avenue Marc Pélegrin in Toulouse, on the ISAE-SUPAERO campus, governed by a member-elected Board of Directors and Bureau, and operated by a small staff of 15 employees supported by alumni volunteers.

The association's core products include an online and printed searchable alumni directory, a Career Centre and job board ("Espace Emploi") that connects alumni with aerospace and defense recruiters, an events platform supporting conferences, regional gatherings, and the annual Alumni Day, and a publications portfolio including the ISAE-SUPAERO Alumni Magazine and the ISAEdre annual book (2010-2023). The technology backbone is a digital membership platform with bilingual French/English support, secure authentication via UpSignOn, and dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications. Additional services include mentorship and tutoring programs (Parrainage 1A/2A, Tutorat 1A/3-4A), student club coordination, continuing education through partner Eurosae (290+ courses, 98.1% satisfaction), and an Innovation & Entrepreneurship Pole supporting alumni startups.

The association is funded primarily through annual membership dues (cotisation) on a recurring subscription basis, supplemented by merchandise sales through its online boutique and corporate recruiting partnerships. Membership is acquired automatically upon graduation from ISAE-SUPAERO or ENSICA, with retention driven by events, publications, professional groups, and regional chapters. Corporate stakeholders participating as recruiting partners include Airbus, Dassault Aviation, MBDA, AVNIR Engineering, and Be Resilient Group, while institutional relationships with IESF, Fondation ISAE-SUPAERO, Eurosae, and Toulouse Métropole extend its professional network. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the association has no external investors or venture capital backing, operating as a member-supported non-profit.
