LAST DAYS!
 The 2026 call for applications is open until midnight on November 16, 2025.

The support scheme will help incubatees develop their projects from February to November 2026.

Banc d’essai(s) reflects the image of ENSA Paris-la Villette: committed, open to a wide range of activities and practices, and focused on contemporary issues.

The incubator is aimed at graduates of architecture schools (DPLG, ADE, DE-HMONP and equivalent qualifications) who have recently set up or are about to set up a business related to architecture in the broadest sense: architecture, landscape, urban planning, scenography, programming, project management or any other cross-disciplinary or hybrid project. Applications are accepted on their own or in groups with other graduates from ENSA or other schools.

The program has three main components: creating, managing and developing a business; this is achieved through monthly meetings offering workshops with expert speakers and alumni-referents, as well as exchange workshops between incubatees.

A maximum of 20 young companies or entrepreneurial projects are selected, demonstrating a commitment (environmental, technical, social and solidarity-based, to a territory or its inhabitants) and a singularity in their approach.

  • Student life survey

    Are you a student at ENSAPLV? Take part in the survey: it’s about you!

    ENSAPLV is launching a survey from April 1 to May 17, 2026 dedicated to the quality of student life. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the daily lives of ENSAPLV students, with a view to improving conditions of welcome, study and well-being at the school. Four main themes are addressed: daily life and infrastructure, health and well-being, social life and activities, and support and guidance. The responses will help us to develop existing systems and implement new initiatives tailored to needs.

    All students are invited to take part by completing an anonymous online questionnaire, the link to which has been sent to e-mail inboxes, or by flashing the QR Code on the posters that have been hung around the school.
