Nanterre, 19 January 2024
VINCI has extended its partnership with
the INSA Foundation for a further three years and has committed to
working with the INSA group to improve equal opportunities and
social inclusion
- Funding of the INSA group's
national host scholarship programme and mentoring programme
- Deployment of local initiatives to
promote diversity and help people from low-income backgrounds go to
university
- Organisation of an annual spoken
art event for students
As one of the founding sponsors of the INSA
Foundation (Institut national des sciences appliquées) since 2019,
VINCI announced on 18 January that it would extend the
partnership for a further three years in order to support INSA’s
humanist engineer model.
“The INSA group is delighted to see the
partnership with VINCI extend into the long-term. We have been able
to count on their support since 2019 to assist with the deployment
of our actions, which directly resonate with our model to help
people from low-income backgrounds go to university and promote the
humanist engineer idea that makes us who we are.” Mourad Boukhalfa,
Chairman of the INSA group.
VINCI’s support serves to finance nearly
200 €500 grants each year awarded to all the children who
benefit from secondary school scholarships when they start at one
of the seven INSA universities. One meaningful change introduced
this year is that scholarship students will have the opportunity to
be paired with INSA alumni employed within the VINCI Group who will
mentor, advise and help them to understand the profession and the
world of work.
“The INSA Foundation would like to warmly thank
VINCI for its loyal support, epitomising our shared values to
promote diversity and improve opportunities for people from
low-income backgrounds to go to university thereby amplifying the
impact of our community actions to help students in need develop
their skills and become the humanist engineers of tomorrow.”
Christian Nibourel, Chairman of the INSA Foundation.
Building on the success of the first two “Jeudi
de l’Éloquence” events, the partnership intends to continue holding
the national public speaking competition, which enables students
from the seven INSA universities to test their oratory skills by
debating major societal issues that affect the business world. This
year, eight candidates went head-to-head discussing their thoughts
on the place work should occupy in our lives.
The learning objectives set out by INSA include
several soft skills, such as self-awareness, understanding of the
environment, insight into the corporate world, interpersonal
relations, intercultural intelligence and communication, in order
to mould humanist engineers able to understand and take meaningful
action in a changing world. The public speaking competition serves
to support the student engineers to achieve success, going beyond
simply teaching technical skills.
Tailored to meet local needs and operate in
close collaboration with the VINCI Regional Directorates and the
local INSA foundations, the partnership finances local initiatives
that promote equal opportunities among students, such as supporting
entrepreneurship, fostering diversity and inclusion (in particular
of people with disabilities) and student charity funds.
“We are delighted to extend our sponsorship
agreement with the INSA group and Foundation, which we have
supported since 2019 and with which we share a single ambition to
take a humanist approach to engineering so as to consider technical
challenges with the same importance as energy and community
concerns, all as part of a complex and changing world. The
cooperation between the INSA Foundation and VINCI enable the
engineers of tomorrow to develop an in-depth understanding of the
needs on the ground by gaining an insight into our professions as
well as our social and environmental commitments.
The energy transition and climate emergency
facing the world mean the need for engineering is greater than
ever. Our core business as builders has never been more central to
society!” Xavier Huillard, Chairman and CEO of the VINCI
Group.

engineering universities in France. Each year, the seven schools
(based in Centre Val de Loire, Hauts-de-France, Lyon, Rennes,
Rouen-Normandie, Strasbourg and Toulouse) train over
20,000 students in engineering, architecture and landscaping,
preparing them to channel their expertise to create a fairer, more
sustainable society. The INSA community, composed of nearly
