Held aboard the CROUS barge in the heart of Paris, the event brought together over a hundred guests—including students, alumni, faculty, former staff, corporate partners, and members of the university’s leadership—to commemorate this significant milestone in the school’s history. The atmosphere was convivial, with engaging conversations, ambitious visions for the future, and contagious smiles.
The evening was orchestrated by the chief of the 15th-anniversary project, Jérémy Arki, who was supported by a dedicated project team comprising Souad Ammar, Holly Wu, Isabelle Lambert, Géraldine Ludger, and Angela Vasanelli. Together, they designed and organized a year-long series of initiatives, including surveys and workshops focused on the school’s image.
DJ Tahar provided the festive soundtrack, while videographer Christ captured the event’s highlights. An original collaborative game—conceived by Augustin L., Jessica B., Lise B., Joachim K., and JA—encouraged intergenerational interaction and camaraderie. Participants discovered, for instance, that some engineering students had previously competed to build the tallest towers using spaghetti and Patafix during a team-building course!
The evening also featured the awarding of the photo contest prizes, showcasing the artistic talents within the EIDD community. Melissa Bitton won first prize with a stunning photograph from an EIDD gala. Speeches delivered by Giuseppe Leo, Souad Ammar, Gwenaëlle Solignac, Xavier Sense, and Angela Vasanelli highlighted the school’s values, achievements, and aspirations, contributing to an atmosphere that was both moving and enthusiastic.
