EBI: A Pioneer and Leader

🔮 A visionary school, even before the rise of biotechnology

The EBI was founded in 1992, at a time when the term “biotechnology” was still unfamiliar to the general public and the business community. The reason the EBI does not include the word “biotech” in its name is that it looked far beyond the trends of the moment. From its inception, the EBI has affirmed its mission: to train engineers capable of mastering the life sciences and applying them to the fields of food, health, cosmetics, and the environment.

👉 Choosing EBI means embracing the same pioneering vision that has made EBI a leading institution in the fields of biology and biotechnology today.

🏆 L’EBI : toujours et encore la première

Since its founding, EBI has established itself as a leader in life sciences education. As the first private engineering school specializing in biology, it has pioneered an innovative educational program that combines scientific rigor with a focus on industry collaboration.

It was also the first private biology school to obtain CTI accreditation, a mark of quality and national recognition for its engineering program. Even today, EBI maintains its leading position among private engineering schools specializing in biology in official rankings (L’Usine Nouvelle, L’Etudiant, and Le Figaro Étudiant), confirming its ability to anticipate the needs of the healthcare, agri-food, cosmetics, and biotechnology sectors.

👉 Choosing EBI means joining a pioneering and renowned school that trains engineers and assistant engineers—the leaders of tomorrow.

🤝 EBI: Recognized expertise and a powerful network

EBI stands out for its unique position at the heart of a dynamic ecosystem, supported by the largest network of alumni (Source: LinkedIn) and industry partners in the fields of biology and biotechnology. Our graduates hold strategic positions in healthcare, agri-food, cosmetics, and the environment (see career outcomes), and share their experience to mentor new generations.

Thanks to strong partnerships with leading companies, our students gain access to real-world projects, internships, and career opportunities right from the start of their studies. This close connection to the bio-industries allows them to build their expertise, foster an innovative mindset, and turn science into tangible, impactful solutions.

👉 Choosing EBI means joining a well-established and active network that will serve as a powerful springboard for your future professional success.

At EBI, success is built together. Here, there is no ranking among students: mutual support is encouraged, creating a caring environment where collaboration takes precedence over competition. This culture of sharing fosters learning, creativity, and personal growth (see the school’s values).

The school also stands out for its artistic focus: workshops, creative projects, and cultural events allow students to express their creativity, develop their imagination, and broaden their scientific perspective. This approach helps shape engineers who are innovative, curious, and capable of thinking outside the box.

👉 Choosing EBI means joining a school where mutual support and creativity are at the heart of the curriculum, so you can become a well-rounded, fulfilled engineer ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
