On May 5, 2025, at the University of Paris, the "Choose Europe for Science" initiative was officially announced, launched at the initiative of President Emmanuel Macron and with the participation of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

This initiative responds to the need to emphasise the importance of freedom in science, the role of science in the development of civilisation, and the recognition of science as a cornerstone of democracy.

In the world of engineering, there is no room for chance.
