Many associations & clubs are managed by students: the Student Association (BDE), the Sports Association (BDS), the Arts Association (BDA) and many others. Each year, students invest a lot of their time in humanitarian associations (e.g. solidar’ITECH).
Students are free to create any club they’d like: sports, cultural, gastronomy… ITECH Lyon strongly encourages students to participate in different activities, keeping a healthy balanced lifestyle between studies and community life.
This demands being able to manage time with limited means. Searching for sponsors allows students to involve themselves in the financial management of their activities. Taking on responsibility, decision making, searching for new ideas and managing a team make useful values that contribute to the path of a future engineer.

4L Trophy
The 4L Trophy™ is an Adventure Foray in the Moroccan desert reserved for students with Renault 4L cars. Young students in search of an adventure get to live a unique experience putting together sporting challenges, a change of scenery and solidarity.
Solidarity comes into play as the goal of the 4L Trophy™ is also to bring school and sporting supplies to the most impoverished children of Morocco. Over the years, this formula has made the 4L Trophy ™ the largest student sporting and humanitarian event in Europe! Every year, an ITECH team participates in this excursion..
