France attracts a multitude of international students every year who are in pursuit of higher education in the country. Known for its world-famous educational institutions, the country is one of the leading destinations for higher education in Europe. Acknowledging its position in the global educational landscape, we have focused on it in this special issue. The issue features The Institute of Polytechnic Science and Aeronautics (IPSA) which was set up in France in 1961. It was developed with a vision to prepare young engineers for all potential occupations in the aeronautics and space business.
In 2021, as a result of the adoption of new French law, PACTE (acronym P.A.C.T.E stands in English for Business Growth and Transformation Action Plan), IPSA became the centre for training strong-willed, creative, and responsible aeronautical engineers capable of transforming the aeronautical industry to face the socio-environmental challenges, the most significant of which is the decarbonisation of air transport. Since its inception, IPSA has seen a significant increase in enrolment, going from a few dozen in the 1960s to about 350 today. Graduates of the school work in high positions in large companies recognized worldwide. Also featuring in the issue is Sorbonne University which is the result of a merger between Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre and Marie Curie University. Sorbonne University has proven its ability to maintain the quality of its education, which has helped it develop into one of the most preferred names in the French higher education realm.
