Internationalization at ÉTS
At ÉTS, internationalization is part of our DNA. We offer our student community, researchers, and partners meaningful opportunities for mobility, collaboration, and project development around the world.
A Commitment to the Future of Engineering
At ÉTS, internationalization is much more than simply being open to the outside: It is a strategy created to have a real impact, both on our community and on the world around us. It is based on four main priorities:
- Incorporating an international focus into our training
- Reinforcing the global impact of our research
- Cultivating a strong international culture on our campus
- Increasing our influence and presence on the international stage
These are the priorities that guide our actions in training engineers and building partnerships that are focused on the challenges of tomorrow.
