The academic and institutional partners

Municipal and community services
The ESAD, an old municipal service of the City of Reims, has a privileged relationship with different services such as the Direction des Espaces Verts, la Direction du Développement Economique et de l’Enseignement Supérieur, la Direction de la Culture ou de la Communication. In this way every year closed competitions allow an ESAD student to make the Happy New Year card for Reims Metropole and for groups to work on the urban equipment and environment.
