The signing ceremony took place in person and by videoconference, in the presence of Sylvie Retailleau, Minister for Higher Education and Research. The Charter of LGBT+ Commitment for Higher Education was established by l'Autre Cercle, in partnership with Caélif and the FAGE.

With this signature, Centrale Nantes makes a commitment to its staff and students to create a caring and inclusive work and study environment, where everyone can feel free to be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity. It is also a commitment to prepare our students to be the responsible and inclusive professionals of tomorrow.

Signing the charter is part of a wider commitment by the school to LGBTQIA+* individuals, notably through the creation of the Equality & Diversity Committee and the appointment of an Equality Diversity Coordinator in June 2022.

*LGBTQIA+: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and all of the gender identities and sexual orientations that letters and words cannot yet fully describe.
