Management team

A management team leading an open organisation consisting of a CODIR and a COPIL.
Just like the companies for which we train future directors, the PURPAN management team is responsible for determining the key operational strategic directions, while preparing for the future by establishing value-added projects.
With this aim in mind, our team is actively engaged in making our organisation as open as possible.
Encouraging the development of cross-disciplinary teams, fostering creativity and adopting a project-based management approach are part of our strengths.
This way, we experience directly what our engineering students will discover later in their working life.

Purpan Foundation

The PURPAN Foundation follows on from the “Friends of Purpan” association which owns the site where the School is located.

It was created to house the land bequeathed by Toulouse farmers more than a hundred years ago, in order to create an agricultural school supervised by the Society of Jesus and the Institut Catholique de Toulouse.

In 2010, the “Friends of Parpan” association was renamed “Fondation de PURPAN”, which allows it to secure the land it holds, in the service of the training of young people and in respect of the founding values of the school.

This status of Foundation also offers the possibility of supporting projects to develop and promote the School, while benefiting from a tax regime that is favourable to the achievement of its general interest objective, particularly through the extended possibilities of appealing to the generosity of donors

In keeping with PURPAN’s founding values, its missions are concrete and meaningful.
• To finance the development of the School in order to make it known at national and international level.
• Supporting innovation and research to bring major scientific projects to life.
• Cultivate the entrepreneurial dynamic with the aim of seeing the emergence of innovative and responsible companies.
• To help students finance their studies in order to maintain the tradition of diversity and social mix.
• Develop solidarity between alumni and encourage mutual support and cohesion within a large network.

The foundation is managed by 8 voluntary members, serving the interests of PURPAN.
