The Paris-based n+i Engineering Network — a non-profit association run on behalf of CDEFI (Conférences des directeurs d’écoles françaises d’ingé,ieurs) representing all engineering education institutes under the French higher education ministry — invites applications from Indian engineering graduates for postgrad study in France for the academic year beginning July 2013. The network represents more than 70 French grandes ecoles of engineering in all fields of science and technology (agriculture to telecomm-unications, and including civil engineering, mechanics, informatics, biotechnology, chemistry, materials, electronics, environment, etc).
“Over the past two years, the n+i Network has developed partnerships with some of the best universities in the world in Australia, Japan, China, Hungary, Russia, Thailand, Jordan, Brazil, Mexico and India, and also with industrial multinationals including Total, FranceTélécom, Dassault, Rhodia, EDF, PSA, Faurécia, Thomson, Thalès, Lafarge, Saint-Gobain, ST Microelectronics, MacaoWater, Rockwell Collins, among others who are involved with us in the education and training of international students,” says Golda Malhotra, the Delhi-based co-ordinator of n+i Engineering Network programmes.
Currently more than 450 students from 35 countries are pursuing postgrad studies in n+i Engineering Network member institutions in France.
