Founded in 1934 to meet the growing demand for labor in the industrial sector, the École Supérieure du Bois (ESB) is the oldest French engineering school specializing in wood and biosourced materials science and technology. Across its core missions (education, research, and industry services), ESB is dedicated to building a sustainable future through innovative solutions based on renewable, natural resources.
As the world moves toward a circular economy, expertise in wood and other biosourced materials is becoming essential to address today’s environmental challenges.
For the past 90 years, ESB has trained hundreds of students in the properties, technologies, and applications of wood and biosourced materials. Today, the ESB Group continues its mission: to imagine, design, and develop cutting-edge solutions that respond to society’s urgent need for sustainability.
Every day, ESB pursues its mission through three main areas of action:
Each year, over 400 students benefit from a wide range of resources and facilities, including:
In addition to offering students a high-quality academic environment, ESB is actively engaged in the green transition. The school organizes workshops to raise awareness about environmental issues and promotes sustainable projects within its community.
Finally, Groupe École Supérieure du Bois is committed to student well-being by providing financial support to those in need, ensuring that every student can thrive in their academic journey.
