From early days…
1855 : Creation of the French national meteorological service within Paris Observatory by Le Verrier
1922 : Creation of a dedicated centre for meteorological training in Saint-Cyr
1948 : Creation of the Ecole de la Météorologie (Saint-Cyr and Paris), part of the research and
training branch of the national meteorological service
1954 : First accreditation to issue « Ingénieur » (Master of Engineering) grades
1969 : The college becomes independent from the research branch and is renamed Ecole Nationale
de la Météorologie (E.N.M.)
1982 : The ENM and the CNRM (Research) are the first NMS branches to be relocated from Paris to
Toulouse
1988 : First accreditation to issue Master of science degrees (with Toulouse University)
1995 : EU-funded EUROMET project (Computed Aided Learning – CAL - ENM program manager)

A supporting environment
ENM is part of a large campus, unique in Europe, dedicated to meteorology
and related applications (« la Météopole ») bringing together :
• Météo-France operational branches
(Forecasting, Observation, IT, Business,
Climatology), research and training
• The new meteorological support
centre for French Armies (CISMF)
• The European Centre for Advanced
Research and Training in Scientific
Computing (CERFACS)
• The French National Centre for
Hydrometeorology and Support to
Floods Forecasts (SCHAPI)
It benefits from Toulouse leadership in the aeronautical and space industry…and of its
renowned quality of life.

ENM future plans
•
Opening more widely our courses to non-Météo-France students
– Preliminary « market studies » suggest that ENM students would find a job :
• their skills make them attractive as meteo / climate experts in companies exposed to these
parameters
•
Develop international relationships with educational organisms ( Erasmus
opportunities)
•
Develop significantly distance learning methods
– Our training resources site is now open to all Météo-France staff
– Météo-France has recently decided to acquire a multipurpose web conferencing tool
•
Language barrier still a limit on foreign expansion
– MFI (Météo-France International) has growing needs in that area
– Things are slowly changing…
