A management team leading an open organisation.

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.
