Ecosystem
Clermont Auvergne University

Clermont Auvergne INP is an Établissement Public à Caractère Scientifique, Culturel et Professionnel (EPSCP), a full-scale institution under the authority of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI), and partof the new Clermont Auvergne University (UCA).
The launch of this new university aims to integrate the strategies of various partners in higher education and research in Auvergne, in a process of co-construction initiated with the merger of the two universities in Clermont-Ferrand and the I-SITE accreditation process.
The CAP 20-25 initiative has supported the development of this new integrated research university, with its signature theme of “Designing sustainable living and production models”.
The UCA is responsible for coordinating the Auvergne region’s higher education and research community.
Le Groupe INP

The INP Group is fostering links between its engineering schools to enable students to personalize their career paths through cross-curricular programs: students in the last two years of the engineering cycle can take (1 or 2 semesters) and validate teaching modules at another school in the group.
The INP group in figures :
- 6 localisations : Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lorraine, Toulouse and Bretagne
- +40 public engineering schools
- over 25,000 students
- 1 integrated multi-location preparatory school
