Humanities, economics, and social sciences

Working in synergy with the laboratories of the Social Sciences and Management Department at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, ENSTA's UFR SHES brings together expertise in economics, management, education sciences, sociology, and information and communication, spread between Brest (FoAP laboratory, UR 7529) and Paris-Saclay (UEA laboratory, UMR 9217).

This complementarity allows for the cross-fertilization of approaches in research and engineering education on strategic themes: sovereignty, defense and security, innovation, transitions, and engineering professions.

Fields of application
  • Defense and security
  • Maritime
  • Ecological and social transition

Research themes

SOVEREIGNTY, INNOVATION, DUALITY, TRANSITIONS, ENGINEERING SKILLS
