Targeting Sustainable Development
Created in 2020, the Sustainable Development program aims to identify and take stock of the actions and initiatives carried out throughout the School, to better identify needs, contribute to the sharing of information and to support emerging initiatives. Many measures have already been carried out, particularly in the field of renovation/building construction and the management of energy.
Sustainable development is one of the strategic objectives of ENS de Lyon for the next 5 years.

The whole school is actively involved
Many administrative departments have integrated the challenges of sustainable development into their respective assignments and functions: sorting waste, encouraging sustainable mobility and working from home, saving energy, renovation and construction of new premises, as well as communicating on subjects such as digital pollution, etc.
The Ecological Transition group brings together teacher-researchers and staff, in cooperation with student associations committed to climate and energy transition.
Student associations are also actively involved: especially ENvertS and PollENS. ENS Ecolo acts as a link between students and administration on all issues related to sustainable development.
