“Today, we note with satisfaction that our aims have been achieved now that the DSC is organised into 4 sections (Programmes, Research, Training and Scholarships) and has thus become easier to comprehend. This structure, a unique point in the landscape of French higher education, makes reference to our partners and the national bodies, who often quote it as example” declares Yves Jayet, DSC Director.

One of the vocations of the Diversity and Success Centre is to raise awareness of this subject throughout the INSA community. This involves organising various programmes, often in partnership with other units of INSA Lyon.
