Last edited on 29 Oct 2025
Institut Mines-Télécom is a French public institution dedicated to Higher Education and Research for Innovation in the fields of engineering and digital technology. The Institut falls under the administrative aegis of the General Council for the Economy, Industry, Energy and Technologies.
In 1996, the France Télécom monopoly in telecommunications ended. The group of telecommunications schools was established in the form of an Établissement public à caractère administratif (public establishment of an administrative nature), for the purpose of managing the three schools: the École nationale supérieure des télécommunications; the École nationale supérieure des télécommunications de Bretagne and the Institut national des télécommunications. The group was renamed the "Institut Télécom" in 2008. On 1 March 2012, it was renamed the "Institut Mines-Télécom" and converted to an EPCSCP - Grand Établissement. The six Mines schools under the supervision of the Ministry for the Economy, Finances and Industry joined the Institut by convention.
