Education & Research

Education and research are of major importance among the objectives of the Fondation Bru, which supports projects worldwide that meet very different challenges. Thus, the Fondation's activities relating to education include:

The creation of an engineering school in China based on the French “grandes écoles” system

Through its unfailing support since 2005, the Fondation Bru had enabled the existence of China’s first French-speaking engineering school. Ecole Centrale Beijing (Beihang Sino-French Engineering School), is the result of an innovative form of Sino-French cooperation. The first engineers are due to graduate from the school in 2011.
