LONG TERM JOINT PROGRAMS WITH CHINA

Cooperation with a network of 9 leading Chinese Universities (“9+9” program) :

Peking U., Tsinghua, Chinese Agricultural U., Nanjing U., SouthEast U., Nanjing Agricultural U., Tongji, Fudan, Jiaotong

An educational Joint Venture : IFCIM (Sino-French Institute for Engineering & Management)

Founded by Tongji University and ParisTech with the support of 10 major French and 7 major Chinese corporations.

A Sino-French Engineering school in Shanghai

(EFCIS F6)

A 6 year-higher education joint project with Tongji, Fudan, Jiaotong which could be launched in 2008

From the launching of the joint program (2000), 400 Chinese students were admitted at ParisTech. Among the 150 graduated students, 70 were recruited in French companies and SME’s in France or China, 20 are preparing a PhD.
