Ecole diplômante en aéronautique et astronautique

The EUR TSAE is based on a strong environment. First of all, Toulouse is the European capital of aeronautics and space (with nearly 100,000 jobs in the Toulouse area). In addition, Toulouse is a major university hub (3 major universities, more than a dozen engineering schools), with many laboratories working wholly or partly for the aerospace sector.

There are four main objectives behind the creation of the EUR TSAE:

- Attracting the best foreign master's students in the framework of a PhD track;

- Increasing the number of PhD engineers in the aerospace industry;

- Increasing international research collaborations;

- Developing the multidisciplinary dimension of aerospace engineering.

EUR TSAE only funds students, through three levers for the 4 main objectives indicated above:

- Outgoing scholarships. These are intended for students in one of the two engineering programs at ENAC and ISAE-SUPAERO for an internship in a foreign research laboratory as part of a PhD track;

- Incoming scholarships. These are intended for foreign students who are aiming for one of the Aeronautics and Space master's degree courses with a documented PhD track project;

- Half doctoral scholarships. They participate in the financing of doctorates in aerospace engineering. That funding is however limited either to interdisciplinary work or to international co-supervision.

This last year of operation led to the awarding of 7 outgoing scholarships and 5 incoming scholarships. Two interdisciplinary PhDs were co-funded by EUR TSAE. There was no international cotutelle PhD thesis this year due to the withdrawal of a candidate.
