Brief description of institution/organization
ENGREF, the French Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Environmental Engineering was formed in 1965 by the merger of the National School of Water and Forests of Nancy (1824) and the National School of Rural Engineering, founded in Paris in 1919. ENGREF is a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture with its own administrative board and its own scientific board.

As of 1 June 2001, ENGREF has had a permanent staff of 161 (71 teaching researchers and engineers and 90 technical and administrative positions). As an application school of the Ecole Polytechnique and the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon in its initial vocation, responsible for the training of the corps of engineers of rural engineering, water and forests, the school has now broadened its training, alone or in partnership (Master's and Doctoral level training).

Since 1990, the school has been responsible for the training of forestry engineers. ENGREF is authorized to grant doctorates in the fields of its competency and the school develops scientific collaboration with numerous outside partners.
