For first-year students joining Mines Nancy, the start of the school year isn’t just about the school — it’s about an entire shared campus. The 2026 Artem welcome day is built around that: a full day for new students to experience the Artem spirit firsthand, meet students from ICN and ENSAD Nancy, and get to know the campus they’ll be sharing throughout their studies.
By joining Mines Nancy, every new student also becomes part of the Artem Alliance, bringing the school together with ICN Business School and ENSAD Nancy. That’s exactly the point of this welcome day: giving first-year students a real understanding of what it means to be part of Artem, a chance to meet the other two schools, and a first look at the places and experiences they’ll share over the coming years.
On the agenda: presentations from all three schools, an open house at ENSAD, a session on sustainable student food, a botanical garden tour, and a closing jam session with the student orchestra OSUL. A great way to kick off the year together, right from day one.
