The Federation Gay-Lussac (FGL), which exists since 1994, is the oldest theme based network in the world of Engineering Schools. It offers the 20 schools which constitute the FGL, better visibility and allows them to pursue concrete actions which provide a real advantage for training engineers.

These schools unify their efforts and share their means in order:

• to provide innovative scientific, technological, social and managerial education, best adapted to the industrial world;
• to make students aware of company culture and to develop their sense of autonomy, of initiative and of responsibility;
• to provide a solid education in research in fields of excellence;
• to offer students a wide range of specialisations by means of a flexible system of inter-school mobility;
• to widen the international horizon of students through the practice of foreign languages, internships and double diploma programmes throughout the world.
