Franck Riester, Minister of Culture, welcomes the completion of the first national qualification campaign for the functions of lecturer and teacher of the National Institutes of Architecture (ENSA).
The establishment of a list of qualifications for the functions of lecturer or professor is one of the missions of the new National Council of Teaching-Researchers of National Institutes of Architecture (CNECEA), installed by the Ministry of Culture on November 5, 2018.
Franck Riester welcomes the work of the CNECEA, chaired by Richard Klein, professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Lille (ENSAP de Lille), whose two vice-presidents are Béatrice Mariolle, professor at the ENSAP de Lille, and Catherine Deschamps, lecturer at the ENSA in Paris-Val de Seine. The CNECEA is composed of 72 members, elected by the ENSA research-teaching community and appointed by the Minister of Culture.
The work carried out by the CNECEA since its installation led, at the end of its plenary session held in early April 2019, to propose to the Minister of Culture, A national list of 488 qualifications for lecturing and 91 qualifications for teaching at national architecture and landscape colleges (ENSAP). This list was made public on April 8, 2019.
Registration on the qualification list allows the winners to participate in the first ENSA teacher-researcher recruitment competitions, which will be open in May 2019, at each institution.
This first qualification campaign represents a further step in the implementation of the ENSA reform, which aims to ensure that institutions and their teaching staff are fully registered in the dynamics of higher education and which participates in the dual academic and professional anchorage of architectural training.
The creation of two faculty-researcher corps strengthens ENSAP’s capacity to provide expertise in support of public policy. It guarantees the excellence of the training delivered in the institutions, supported by research, and thus the competence of young graduates in architecture to provide future answers to the questions of contemporary society, in terms of quality of living environment and ecological and energy transition.
