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.

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.
