École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier named an Apple Distinguished School

ENSCM has been awarded the "Apple Distinguished School" label for the pedagogical transformation achieved through the deployment of digital tools since the start of the 2014 academic year. It is the only French public institution to be awarded this label, out of six in France, covering the period 2021-2024. It joins 535 other establishments in 32 countries around the world.

This excellent engineering school, part of the University of Montpellier, is one of the few public higher education institutions to have digitized the training of its students at this level.

In an innovative approach resolutely committed to new uses for student training, the ENSCM teaching team has equipped each student with an iPad for the chemist, targeting all aspects of his or her curriculum and capable of promoting interactivity, personalized follow-up and facilitating hybrid and distance learning.

With a wide range of applications and advanced, scalable functionalities essential to the work of teachers and students, the flexibility of this tool has enabled the integration of work platforms (ELFFE, Teams) and encouraged the development of in-house solutions. The deployment of this system is supported by pedagogical and technological support for teachers in the transformation of their practice.

In addition, by equipping each student with the same modern, mobile, versatile, robust and quick-to-use work tool, to be used in all aspects of their training, ENSCM is committed to equal opportunities for all its students.

This label, awarded for three years by a world-renowned company, recognizes ENSCM's commitment and reinforces the determination of its teaching staff to pursue its educational transformation via digital technology. New projects will be launched to keep pace with technological developments and contribute to the success of future engineers in the best possible conditions.
