Management and Administration
Centrale Lyon is governed by a Board of Directors, supported by a Council of Studies and a Scientific Council. These bodies consist of elected members representing staff and students, as well as external members.
Centrale Lyon oversees 6 laboratories, which are joint research units with the CNRS. The institution also collaborates with Centrale Innovation, a development subsidiary managing contracts with companies.
For its corporate philanthropy efforts, Centrale Lyon has an Endowment Fund, and its in-house school operates a foundation under its aegis. The institute's alumni are organized into two associations: the Association des Centraliens de Lyon and the Association Nationale des Ingénieures ENISE.
Academics and research
Campus Lyon-Écully
The campus is organized into six teaching and research departments, each focused on specific disciplines, which promote synergy between the institution's core missions of education and research.
These departments serve as the bridge between academic training and research activities.
Both fundamental and applied research are carried out within six research laboratories, all Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR) in partnership with the CNRS.
Campus Saint-Étienne
This campus is home to both Centrale Lyon ENISE and its three specialized engineering degrees, as well as various academic programs (CapECL, bachelor, master's, etc.).
Research on this campus spans both fundamental and applied fields, conducted within two Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR) laboratories, also in collaboration with the CNRS.
