France’s leading higher education institution specialising in wood sciences and technologies, ESB was founded in 1934 at the initiative of the French Ministries of Agriculture, National Education and Industry. Committed to innovating with wood and biosourced materials, the school has broadened this vision to each of its areas of expertise: training, research and R&D engineering at the service of companies. The expertise developed by ESB in construction, industrial engineering and wood sciences, enables it to train about a hundred young graduates each year: BTS, bachelor’s degree, professional degree, engineering diploma, specialized master’s degree. They are able to develop knowledge about the properties, technologies and uses of wood and bio-based materials. For what challenge? To imagine, design and develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of our society in a sustainable way.
