Presentation

L’insa Rouen-Normandie est un établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et pédagogique qui dépend du ministère chargé de l’enseignement supérieur, de la recherche.
Ancré sur le territoire normand, l’insa Rouen Normandie est la première école publique d’ingénieurs de Normandie. L’insa Rouen-Normandie fait partie du groupe insa et occupe une place majeure dans le paysage de la formation d’ingénieurs en France.
Ses missions :
- La formation initiale et continue d’ingénieurs (10 formations d’ingénieurs·es dont 4 accessibles par apprentissage)
- La recherche d’excellence (8 laboratoires)
- La diffusion de la culture scientifique s’articule autour des domaines de compétences suivants : les systèmes d’information, le big data, les mathématiques, la chimie et les procédés, la maîtrise des risques et la reconversion de sites industriels, l’énergétique, la propulsion, la mécanique, la performance industrielle ou encore le génie civil et l’urbanisme.
La politique de développement durable au sein de l'INSA de Rouen répond à des problématiques sociales (cadre de vie, parité, diversité, solidarité locale et internationale…), écologiques (espaces verts, déchets, eaux pluviales...) et économiques (performance énergétique, achats écoresponsables…)
