With the support of la Fondation Culture & Diversité,  this “Equal Opportunities” programme aims to accompany second year students doing a DMA or BTS photography course who wish to work in the restoration of fine arts. These students come from modest family backgrounds and can prepare for the Inp competitive examinations. During a two-week summer workshop and one-week workshops in the autumn and winter, students follow refresher courses in science and the history of art, visit museums and meet conservators-restorers.

On completion of the Equal Opportunities programme, students sit the Inp competitive examination without quotas or parallel paths. Unsuccessful candidates can integrate a preparatory class in Paris Ouest Nanterre – Ecole du Louvre and benefit from one more year of preparation.
