ENSAE Paris - École d'ingénieurs pour l'économie, la data science, la finance et l'actuariat

Governance

Two bodies report to the school's management : the School Council, which is consulted on the positioning of the school, the general orientation of teaching, organization and operation, student recruitment procedures, relations with companies, and strategic alliances and partnerships; and the Teaching and Research Committee, which deals with the organization of teaching, studies and research, the teaching program, and the procedures for the awarding of degrees, and which sits as a jury or disciplinary board. In addition, the Board of Directors of GENES, which is the legal entity of the school, deliberates on financial decisions, the general organization of the school, as well as on all subjects involving legal decisions, such as the definition of tuition fees or changes in the terms of competitive examinations. Each of these bodies is composed of qualified personalities, staff and student representatives, and ex officio members representing the school's management, the supervisory authority (INSEE) and GENES. Finally, the GENES Scientific Council is consulted on the scientific orientations of ENSAE and CREST.

Focus on the School Council of ENSAE Paris

The School Council is chaired by Arnaud LAROCHE (Artificial Intelligence Leader for the EMEIA zone, EY). He is assisted by

  • Ex-officio members: the Secretary General of INSEE or his representative, the Director of ENSAE Paris and the Director of ENSAI. 
  • Elected members: three elected representatives of the ENSAE Paris staff (one representative of the administrative staff and two representatives of the teaching staff), three elected representatives of the students and one representative of the ENSAE Alumni.
  • Ten members appointed for three years and elected for their expertise. The choice of these high-level personalities for the new School Council reflects a balance between private companies, public organizations and academic expertise, in order to allow for a fruitful dialogue within the body on the major issues facing the school. The school has also ensured that parity is strictly respected among these appointees.
