A dynamic region and renowned Campus : The LyonTech - La Doua

The CPE Lyon students evolve around a dynamic region and city and in a super scientific eco-campus which strengthen synergies between training, research and innovation in the service of the economic development, as well as the students' quality of life. LyonTech-la Doua therefore represents a significant opportunity for all students wishing to learn in a inspiring setting and brings together all the conditions to promote scientific excellence.

A great region for students

The courses offered at CPE Lyon are perfectly in line with the sectors that have made Lyon and its region so dynamic.

Students love Lyon not only for its quality of life, atmosphere, proximity to the mountains and sea as well as its cultural events but also for the diversity of its training programs. The region’s network of businesses also attracts students, since the local job market is dynamic. The reputation of Lyon goes beyond the city limits, in one of the most dynamic regions, that of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The LyonTech-la Doua campus is « green » and vibrant

CPE Lyon is on the scientific domain of La Doua in Villeurbanne, beside Lyon.

The LyonTech-La Doua Campus aims to become a world reference in cleantech by applying its two domains of excellence: chemistry and engineering for sustainable development. In recent years, CPE Lyon has benefited from the renovation and modernisation program of the LyonTech-la Doua campus. The aim has been to create an internationally renowned eco-campus. Our graduate school is now located on modern and renovated permises. These buuildings meet the highest current requirements in terms of energy consumption.

CPE Lyon researchers make the most of this quality work environment to give courses and practical workshops to the school’s students as well as training for company employees as part of the CPE Lyon “Life long training program”.
