  • Join the Research in Architecture post-master's program at the start of the new academic year

    Are you thinking of doing a thesis?

    Give yourself the opportunity to spend an extra year in a post-master’s program to confirm your choice and get acculturated to the world of architectural research with a first experience in a research team!

    This course is aimed at architects who have graduated in France or abroad, and hold a university master’s degree or equivalent in spatial issues, as well as master’s students (architecture or other) subject to obtaining their current degree.

  • Find out more about the State Architects and Planners (AUE) competition

    The DRAC d’Île-de-France and CROAIF are organizing two information events to promote the missions of State Architects and Planners (AUE) and increase the number of registrations for the AUE competition, a civil service management body.

    During these meetings, which will take place simultaneously by videoconference and in person at the Chapelle des Récollets (Paris 10th arrondissement), AUEs from the Ministries of Culture, Ecological Transition, the Armed Forces and Europe and Foreign Affairs will give presentations and answer participants’ questions on :

    • training courses available to prepare for the competition ;
    • the competition, tests and expectations (timetable, skills required, etc.) ;
    • jobs in government departments: urban renewal, landscape evolution, project management, heritage preservation, ENSA… ;
    • career development in the civil service.

    Both events will be hosted by Olivier Lerude, Head of the Regional Department of Architecture and Heritage Spaces (SRAEP) at DRAC Île-de-France.
