ParisTech
ParisTech is a consortium of eleven of the most prestigious graduate institutes in France, each recognised as the best in the country in its field.
ParisTech covers practically all engineering sciences, together forming a genuine university with a standing comparable to that of the leading scientific and technical universities abroad, with which it is capable of being a solid partner.
A few facts and figures:
- 18,900 students (31% from abroad), 3,500 academic staff
- 6,200 graduates per year, 200,000 former graduates around the world
- 126 laboratories, 500 doctoral theses per year, 18,000 publications over the past 5 years, 2,870 research contracts with companies
AgroParisTech
AgroParisTech develops research and training programmes designed to strengthen executive management skills focusing on both public action and business in the life and environmental sciences.
The ENGREF (National School for Agricultural Engineering, Water and Forests) is an AgroParisTech school offering graduate, doctoral and professional degrees for high-level managers and experts, from both the public sector and business, whose work concerns the engineering and management of public policies in fields ranging from agricultural production and the food, aquatic environments, forestry, water and waste management, regional planning and natural risks.
The ENGREF Centre of Montpellier operates the International Executive Master, which it hosts on campus and organises in cooperation with the other partners.
The site in Montpellier provides a stimulating scientific and professional environment for the International Executive Master.
This is even more the case in that the ENGREF Centre of Montpellier is responsible for postgraduate courses in the field of water (Doctorate, Master’s Degree in Water Management), and more particularly those intended for top-level managers in public administrations and companies in this sector.
The community of students in these programmes benefits from the robust local water research and higher education possibilities in Montpellier, unique in France and comparable with the other large European hubs in this field (Delft, Wallingford-Oxford, Stockholm).

SUEZ ENVIRONNENMENT – WATER FOR ALL Foundation
The establishment of the SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT – WATER FOR ALL Foundation represents the SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT commitment to support solidarity actions promoting sustainable development.
Under the aegis of the Institut de France, the Foundation supports actions promoting the improvement and development of water and sanitation services, mainly in urban environments.
One of the main goals of the Foundation is to promote the professional development of urban water services in non-OECD countries through technology transfer and skills development. To achieve this objective, the Foundation supports training and research programs designed to develop access to water and sanitation in these areas.
Other collaborations
The partners are aware that ambitious training objectives require an approach which attracts the best pools of knowledge, experience and know-how in urban drinking water and sanitation management.
The programme therefore remains open to cooperation programmes extending beyond the founding partners, whether they come:
- from across France and abroad
- or from academia and research as well as business
to teach courses, to let the trainees work on actual case studies, to present technical or social innovations, etc.
