ENSTA is an Établissement Public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel ("Public Scientific, Cultural or Professional Establishment"), with administrative and financial autonomy, established in the form of a grand établissement (EPSCP-GE).
Under the supervision of the French Ministry of Armed Forces and, in particular, the Direction Générale de l’Armement (Defense Procurement and Technology Agency), (as are 2 other graduate schools: the Ecole Polytechnique, and ISAE-SUPAERO), its organization and operation are governed by the French Defense Code (articles R3411-57 to R3411-82).
3 school governing body meetings are held every quarter with the school’s executive team to check that all is running smoothly and that the school has obtained its objectives: the Council , the Training Board, and the Research Board.
The Council
ENSTA is governed by the Council composed of 29 members:
- 8 State representatives
- 11 external members, representing higher education and civilian society, 4 of whom have been designated due to their qualities and skills in professional sectors which correspond to those of the school
- 10 staff and student representatives
The President of the school, the financial controller and the accounts officer attend the Council sessions in an advisory capacity.
By Decree of the President of the Republic dated April 23, 2025, Mr. Laurent Giovachini, Deputy CEO of Sopra Steria, has been appointed Chair of the ENSTA Board of Directors.
