Centrale Nantes Alumni,  is the association that unites and animates the community of Centraliens de Nantes. More than just an alumni association, CNA aims to bring together graduates, students, and teacher-researchers of the school to promote the success of all.

Since 1922, the association has had several major missions:

  • Maintain links and promote solidarity between its members
  • Help its members to progress in their professional and personal life, through the network and training, 
  • To be the vector of the contacts of its members with the students, the School, and the companies
  • Promote the School and the diploma and contribute to the development of Centrale Nantes
  • Contribute through its actions to the development of the  Intergroupe of Centrale Schools.


Centrale Nantes Alumni is thus a link between the Centraliens de Nantes to allow everyone to grow their network.
