Institut Gramme, Engineering institute in Liège, Belgium.
Institut Gramme is a technical school in Liège that offers programs in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial design. The school combines classroom learning with hands-on laboratory work and projects done alongside local companies.
The school was founded in 1906 by the Jesuit father Adolphe Renard as the École des Arts et Métiers, modelled on the French school of the same name. It was later named after Zénobe Gramme, the Liège-born inventor of the dynamo. The first class graduated in 1908 after two years of study.
The name honors Zenobe Gramme, a Belgian inventor whose work shaped electrical engineering. Today the school maintains close ties with regional industries, offering students opportunities to work on real-world projects.
The campus features laboratories, workshops, and spaces for collaboration with industry partners. Visitors should check ahead about visiting possibilities, as access is primarily centered on academic activities.
The school's research centre is the CRIG, and the institution belongs to ASJEL, the Association of higher education establishments in Europe and Lebanon. Alumni keep their own network, Union Gramme. Since 2016 a double degree with HEC Liège leads to a Master in Industrial and Business Engineering.
