Values and Ambitions

Trust, Commitment, Team Spirit, Self development

Isara has been built for more than 50 years upon deeply human values which move our student-engineers and our collaborators and support our school in its history and development.

These values are our ground rules and govern the way we work together on a daily basis.
To make them more concrete and applicable within our organization, they have been broken down into principles of action:

• Sharing information efficiently
• Having the right to make mistakes & supporting continuous improvement

Commitment

• Setting common goals and sharing them
• Giving ourselves enough time to deliver quality results
• Experimenting & driving change

Team spirit

• Listening
• Encouraging co-development and the sharingof experiences
• Developing synergies between students and staff
• Defending the interests of the group over those of the individual

Self-development

• Allowing everyone to develop their professional or academic project
• Setting time aside to stay flexible
• Recognizing and valuing the work done
