CESI’s five Summer Schools in 2026
Benefit from an immersive technological experience
Our five Summer Schools are aimed at French and international students pursuing their studies in the field of engineering. These short programs allow participants to develop and enhance your knowledge of BIM for sustainable construction or generative artificial intelligence for industry (GenAI), smart innovation, engineering for the healthcare sector, and Blue Economy.
Develop your expertise, discover the French “know how” in your field, study in a multi-cultural and international environment, benefit from high-level teaching and company visits, and experience cultural immersion in exceptional French cities.
I came across CESI’s Summer School by browsing the websites of different universities on the Internet. I’m from Quebec and my main goal is to understand how BIM is being used in French buildings.
I also wanted to learn more about Revit (software that allows users to create a 3D building).Thanks to the Summer School workshops and projects, we have gained a greater awareness of the environment. We have also learned about clash detection, which is a BIM technique. I work individually on a daily basis. On the other hand, we have all helped each other during the Summer School. I recommend CESI’s Summer School because it’s interesting to see everything that can be done here.
