Fondation EPF funds practical, relatively small grants that advance a more inclusive, human-centered engineering pipeline in France. Its strongest priorities are getting more women and girls into science and engineering, supporting student opportunity through scholarships and mentorship, and backing responsible innovation in areas like ecological transition, AI/digital responsibility, and disability inclusion. It also supports EPF-linked initiatives such as incubator activity, teaching chairs, and alumni/intergenerational engagement.
Small-to-midsize grants, typically around $1,000–$20,000, awarded through a structured application process with four review sessions per year. The foundation supports project-based, often France-based initiatives from associations, schools, higher education institutions, and public-interest partners, with many grants tied to EPF’s own ecosystem or aligned mission partners.
