For a student, arriving in a foreign

country often means being plunged

into the unknown. The subtleties of the

language, the laws and administration,

and the social and cultural environment

can often become obstacles and spoil

their stay. On the strength of our

extensive experience, we are able

to provide students with individual

assistance to optimise their time abroad

at every level, including in the follow-up

of their studies. In 2009, we organised

the international mobility of 7,000

French and foreign grant students

who were keen to pursue their education

in a foreign country.

EVERYTHING FOR FRENCH AND FOREIGN STUDENTS TO SUCCESSFULLY STUDY ABROADInformation to students and the relevant organisations about grant schemes (Website, information campaigns) • Online management

of calls for applicants, according to each program • Preparation and organisation of the trip • Reception and accommodation

• Monitoring and support throughout the stay • Help with administrative procedures • Monthly payment of grants • Personal

online account • Medical cover and insurance in France or abroad • Academic follow-up in collaboration with the university

or school • Social and cultural activities.

The day I arrived in France, I was met by Égide who

offered me several possibilities of accommodation.

As it was my first time in Paris, the person who met me

helped me to choose in view of the location of my future

university, distance and the neighbourhood.

By the end of the day, I had already settled into my new flat.

WE DO EVERYTHING TO HELP RESEARCHERS FOCUS ON THEIR WORK

As part of a scientific exchange programme between our

two countries, my government sent me to France for several

months to further my research. Égide organised everything,

even my different transfers within France, since I worked in

two labs, one in Toulouse, and the other in Rouen. I was

therefore able to devote my time to my work.

meetings truly successful, both on

a personal and a professional level.

In 2009, we took care of 5,300 key

foreign personalities mainly invited

European Affairs.

France: travel and pick-up at the airport, transfers, chauffeur-driven vehicles, individual accompaniment, organisation of meetings

and appointments, hotel bookings, payment of per diem allowances, arrangement of interpreters, tailor-made cultural

and sight-seeing programmes, medical cover and insurance.

High-profile foreign participants to study visits in France

I was already acquainted with Égide which had taken

care of our delegation during a previous trip. It is always

a pleasure to know that they will be looking after us because

everything goes off smoothly, even last-minute changes.

For instance, during our visit, one of our members said he

would like to see St. Michael’s Mount. And no sooner said

than done, Égide arranged the outing for him.

I have just come back from Brazil where I did an

assessment mission for a large economic organisation.

Égide was asked to arrange the trip at the last minute and,

as always, they proved to be highly efficient and responsive.

My ticket was delivered directly to my home and I didn’t even

have to pay out the money for it!

You During the French Presidency of the European Union,

we were invited to attend a conference in Nice. A few days

beforehand, we were told that the event – 300 people

success.
