Combining innovation and sponsorship
Thanks to the patronage of Grenoble INP's partners, the Grenoble INP Foundation finances forward-looking research and pedagogical innovation programs through Chairs of Excellence to meet the immediate and longer-term challenges of society and the economic world through innovation.

- Energy and environment
- Geomaterials and civil engineering
- Materials, bio-based materials and processes
- Micro and nanotechnologies
- Digital and uses
- Production and logistics
- Management and organization
