Les Entretiens de Toulouse, April 14 and 15, 2021

The meeting place for players in the aerospace sector

Develop your skills with Entretiens de Toulouse

For the 2021 session, two additional areas have been introduced: Sustainable Air Transport and Testing and Experimentation, which are central to the concerns of our aeronautical echo system.

The government has extended the FNE scheme, which provides funding for employee training in distance learning, for companies using part-time work. This scheme has been extended until summer 2021.

Registrations are still open on the ET2021 website: https://entretiensdetoulouse.com/inscription

Thanks to their original format, the Entretiens de Toulouse provide an opening onto subjects with high industrial stakes, while preserving the confidentiality of exchanges. This is a high-level scientific and technical training program, which extends to aspects of innovation, management and social issues. At the heart of today's issues, it calls on the best experts. These Entretiens offer everyone the opportunity to become part of a community, which becomes the indispensable support for day-to-day activity.

Since the 1st edition in 2008, more than 4,500 people (managers, directors, engineers...) have taken part in these exchanges, and all of them confirm the importance and strength of this meeting on the sector's major scientific, technological and managerial challenges.

1 - High-level training
It is aimed at engineers, project managers, technical managers, R&D directors, etc. in the aerospace sector.
This training program promotes the dissemination of scientific knowledge. By bringing together the players in this sector, it facilitates mutual understanding and contributes to exchanges between SMEs, major corporations, prime contractors and research centers.

2 : Themes at the heart of your concerns with the best experts
The Entretiens are designed to respond to the current concerns of the R&D world. In each of the seventeen subject areas, the topics chosen reflect the scientific, technical or managerial issues facing companies in the sector. These choices are made by the Program Committee, on which industry is largely represented.
The Program Committee only endorses a theme if it is assured of having a speaker recognized as an expert by the profession. The Entretiens thus bring together the best experts on each theme.

3 - An à la carte itinerary to guarantee your enrichment
Les Entretiens offers 68 half-day workshops, divided into 17 areas. Each workshop enables participants to discover or deepen their knowledge of a particular subject, depending on their experience.Each participant chooses his or her own 4 Entretiens from the 68 on offer, according to his or her interests, either in a highly specicialized vision (four workshops in the same field), or a broader vision (one or two workshops in another field, complementing the workshops in their own specialty).
They get the most out of the two days they spend at Les Entretiens.

4 - Effective teaching adapted to the world of R&D
Our teaching methods are based on the principle of debate. Debate allows each participant to situate him- or herself in the subject matter in relation to his or her own concerns and experience. They ask the questions that concern them. It's the guarantee of effective appropriation of knowledge. A fundamental pedagogical principle is the involvement of the participant.
To ensure the quality of the debate, the Interview is moderated by a moderator, and everyone is invited to take part. The number of participants per Interview is limited to 30. Each Interview includes a presentation of no more than forty-five minutes, followed by two hours of debate.
The Organizing Committee has also decided to keep all discussions completely confidential. This choice allows for a great deal of freedom of discussion, without any "langue de bois", which contributes to the quality of the exchanges.

5 - Expand your professional network
In today's increasingly complex environment, networking has become an indispensable part of our business. Everyone is aware of this.
But how do we build and develop it? How can we ensure that it is relevant to our own activities?
The Entretiens de Toulouse are an opportunity to do just that. Everyone meets competent people concerned by the theme of the workshop. In this way, a professional network is created, with high added value and efficiency, through a common area of interest. The debate mechanism provides the basis for this relationship.
Each workshop can be the vector of a future community. This has been the experience of previous years.

6 - The Entretiens de Toulouse book: an overview of all the workshops
This specific document contains the contributions of each workshop. It is given to each participant and speaker one month before the start of the Entretiens. It gives everyone the opportunity to immerse themselves in the subject beforehand, an essential condition for effective teaching.
