IPL, a platform for educational, pedagogical and organisational collaboration
4 Grandes Ecoles
While showcasing the strengths and attributes of each of its 4 member Grandes Ecoles (CPE-Lyon, ECAM-LaSalle, Isara, ITECH), IPL has created a close synergy and a shared platform providing optimal visibility in France and abroad. IPL is a platform for educational, pedagogical and organisational collaboration, striving towards the continuous improvement of the quality of teaching and services provided to students as well as a pragmatic approach towards business and industries. The added value offered by the IPL is derived from both the vitality enshrined in the humanist values that underpinned the creation of the four Grandes Ecoles as well as that ability to define coherent and harmonious dynamics capable of making them more than the sum of their parts.

Role
The IPL is a place of synergy, a platform for educational, pedagogical and organisational collaboration, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of services provided to students.
- Developing and coordinating shared projects
- Enabling exchange on the schools’ specific functions and experiences in widely differing environments
- Developing alongside the schools and optimising operational practices
- Promoting collaborative actions in widely differing environments, actions which would never have seen the light of day had only one school carried them out
- Championing the work and specificities of each of the schools
- Providing a point of contact for institutional and professional bodies (Conseil Régional, Agence ERASMUS+ France / Education Formation, CCI Lyon Métropole, MEDEF, Université de Lyon, Only-Lyon, CROUS, …)
… for the benefit of the students of the 4 schools.

The founders and partners of IPL
4 major engineering schools in Lyon, all labeled EESPIG, created and managed by a joint project, have been federating in the IPL since 13 January 1992 to meet their development objectives with the support of:
- L’Université Catholique de Lyon
- Fondation pour l’Université de Lyon
- Chambre de Commerce et Industrie de Lyon Métropole
With the financial support of the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region and of the industrialists in the region. As well as the support of Europe through the ERASMUS + program.
