Mines Nancy and sustainable development
Always at the leading edge, Mines Nancy places growing importance on its educational activities for raising awareness about the challenges of sustainable development and social responsibility (SDSR). It takes a differentiating approach, at the interface of the school’s five scientific departments, which makes students and professors genuine agents in this area.
The course prepares students for the major challenges of tomorrow by offering between 50 and 800 hours of teaching (out of a total of 2,000 hours) dedicated to the ecological transition, sustainable development and social responsibility.
Here is an example of actions put in place by and for students:
- Organisation and moderation of a series of SDSR lectures and round tables in the first year
- Series of SDSR masterclasses in the second year
- The Climate Fresco serious game to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of climate change
- “La Mine Verte” student ecological society
- School and campus carbon footprint
Equality, Diversity, Inclusion – a winning trifecta!
Through its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) office, Mines Nancy aims to combat discrimination, in particular that based on gender, ethnicity, natural origin, descent, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Both in our day-to-day activities and when teaching our students, the university strives to shape future citizens and professionals who are open-minded, embrace diversity and do what they can to stop discrimination.
Mines Nancy has a prevention, listening and support unit to deal with issues of discrimination and harassment.
Actions undertaken:
- Prevention and awareness initiatives for students and staff
- Confidential listening, information and support for victims or witnesses of discrimination or harassment
- Equal opportunities for admission to France’s Grandes Ecoles
