ENISO

ENISO is an acronym used by several higher education institutions and professional bodies, mainly in Francophone regions, to designate schools that specialize in information science and information technology. The exact expansion of ENISO varies by country; common forms include phrases such as "École Nationale des Sciences de l'Informatique et des Organisations" or "École Nationale des Sciences de l'Informatique et de l'Organisation."

Institutions bearing the ENISO designation typically aim to train computer science specialists, software engineers, and IT managers. Programs usually combine core computer science with applied subjects such as databases, networks, systems administration, software development, and information management. Degree offerings commonly include bachelor-level engineering or informatics diplomas, master's degrees, and doctorates, often featuring internship options and industry partnerships.

ENISO schools frequently host research centers or laboratories focusing on areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and software engineering. They may participate in national or international networks of engineering education and maintain collaboration agreements with partner universities and industry.

Admissions procedures vary but usually require secondary-school credentials and may involve entrance exams, interviews, or academic records. ENISO campuses are typically located in major cities and may be affiliated with national universities or polytechnic institutes.
