École centrale de Nantes is a French Grande école of engineering, established in 1919 under the name of Institut Polytechnique de l'Ouest.
École centrale de Nantes is one of the Centrale Graduate Schools associated as the Groupe Centrale network with its sister institutions (Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille and Beijing). A member of the TIME (Top Industrial Managers for Europe) network, that enables student exchanges among leading European engineering schools, it is also a founder of the France AEROTECH association of French engineering schools.
The Ecole Centrale de Nantes is located in Nantes, France (in a region called Pays-de-la-Loire). Nantes is only two hours by train from Paris. Nantes is the sixth largest city in France, and is also located on the riverside of the Loire and only 50 km away from the Atlantic coast.
The Ecole Centrale Nantes was founded in 1919. Being first called Institut Polytechnique de l'Ouest, the school's courses were various: electricity, mechanics, chemistry and smelting works. In 1977, the school moved and took place in actual premises. In 1991, it became the Ecole Centrale de Nantes and since, belongs to the Centrale Graduate School. As a Centrale Graduate School, it implements a similar Centralien programme of engineering education as in École centrale de Lille, École centrale de Lyon, École centrale de Marseille, École centrale Paris and Ecole Centrale de Pekin. In 2011, the school became a member of France AEROTECH.
