Research in France

Why study in France? Which field should you choose? And what’s the special spark that makes studying in France so unique?
Welcome to The French Teach, the brand-new podcast by Campus France that dives into the world of French academic excellence. In this episode, we dive deep into why French institutions are leading the way in luxury education. 

On 7 October 2024, during the international SCIENCE4ACTION forum organised by the Institute for Research and Development (IRD in French) in Marseille, the Trophées de l’innovation (Innovation Awards) have been awarded to recompense interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder approaches with significant impact potential in Southern countries. The three winners of this edition are two French alumni doctorate students: Kakada Oeum for the Asia and Pacific region and Pablo Lara for the Latin America and Caribbean region, and Waly Faye, an international doctorate holder, for Africa.

The fourth ranking of French “grandes écoles” (major schools) of business and engineers committed in environmental and social transition designed by ChangeNOW and the French finance newspaper Les Echos has just been released. As in previous rankings, the 2024 survey puts the highlight on institutions that made significant efforts to implement these values, both in their training courses and programmes, and in their work on a daily basis. On the three steps of the podium of the two rankings: Mines Nancy, CentraleSupélec et l’Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, on the engineers’ sides, and ESSEC, ESCP and emlyon on the business schools’ side.
