What's listing?
First, two teams secretly form in September, especially during the WEI. Discreetly (more or less…), students start gathering friends to form a list and look for motivated people who want to share this adventure. For a few weeks, you’ll decide roles, name, and color, and get to know the people you'll spend the next 4 months with. In November, the most intense and incredible part may begin: pre-campaign. The teams step into the light to bring life to campus with creative, ambitious events. This year, BDE Astro adds new activities with clubs and associations. You'll face challenges, but they'll make you stronger. It's a unique and amazing experience you won't regret.
The Campaign
February brings campaign week — the culmination of your hard work. But it's not over yet! Time to shine and prove what your list can do. Students come specifically to see what you offer, so be original and work as a team. Your list will organize a party for 700 people, stands, and huge activities. After 4 months, you'll be a family and ready to put everything you’ve learned into practice. The week ends with elections for the new BDE. Let former listers tell you all about it in the testimonials below!
A Word from Yasmine and Vlad
BDE Campaign Managers, Spectre 2019
When we arrived at INT, we never thought we’d list. But now, no hesitation: listing was the best experience we had. It helped us meet incredible people and build lifelong friendships through all the ups and downs. Three years later, we're writing this while on vacation with the team. We have no regrets — just unforgettable memories. If you're hesitating, don’t. Do it. You won’t regret it.
A Word from Dounia
Vice-President, Horus 2022
For 4 months, three teams face off through challenges to win the BDE. The list is split into subteams where everyone finds their role — comms, logistics, events. Official competitions and surprise events keep campus alive. You’ll become everything from carpenter to designer. You’ll sleep less but grow more. This experience brings people together, across all years, and creates unforgettable bonds.
A Word from Guillaume
BDE Party Manager, Naga 2021
I wanted to list since Integration Week. I gave it everything — my time, energy, sleep. And I got the best 4 months of my life. I’ll always remember us working together, pushing for the best events, the competition, the fun. The smiles on people's faces made everything worth it. Winning made me proud. Proud of what we built, proud to list. 1A — do it!

Corporate Relations & Vice-President, Blaze 2022
Listing is an incredible adventure with 30 others who become your closest friends. Those sleepless nights and crazy moments build something special. You’re at the heart of campus life, learning a lot about others and yourself. It’s one of the most intense and rewarding experiences.
A Word from Marion
RITZ & Campaign Manager, BDE Kraken 2020
I’ve never felt more myself than when listing. It’s intense and brings out the real you. You give your all and bond with amazing people you’ll never forget. Winning gave us chills and pride to give back to new students. You must list. It’s worth it.
A Word from Marine & Mathilde
Vice-Presidents, Hunters 2021
A list is 35 people aiming for the BDE. It’s a 4-month journey full of creativity, exhaustion, joy. You’ll learn things you won’t in class — pitching, organizing, improvising. It’s not just about winning. You become a family with ambition, love for the campus, and unforgettable memories.
A Word from Dylan & Inès
Vice-President & Event Manager, BDE Atlas 2022
Listing is a journey you’ll never forget. You meet great people, form a family, and go through fun and wild months. You grow, take on responsibilities, and create things bigger than yourself. At the end, you won’t remember the stress — only the friends. Go for it!
A Word from Capucine
Corporate Relations Co-Manager, Thunder 2021
What is listing? It's teamwork, creativity, and facing challenges together. Even if you lose, you gain a family. It teaches you more than classes ever could — how to dream big and bring those dreams to life for 4 unforgettable months.
A Word from Raphaël
Treasurer, Whispers 2020
Listing BDE is a unique journey where you give everything to a team that gives back. You’ll face challenges and bright moments, and grow from both. It's joy, it's struggle, and it's a memory you’ll always carry. Win or lose — do it.
