For this inaugural edition of EPITA's International Newsletter, I am really pleased to introduce our new international team.
Miss Albane Ariza is in charge of developing our international programs ; especially for the international Masters (learn more...). Miss Daniela Becker has been coordinating the ERASMUS exchange programs for quite some time now and Miss Célia Fernandez will be joining us mid-April and will coordinate the non-ERASMUS exchange programs.
Miss Anne Ménard, Executive Assistant, is supporting me through all our exciting development projects!
I sincerely do hope the first edition will keep you connected to EPITA, where ever you are through the Globe!
Yours sincerely,
Christophe Rouvrais

In the fall, EPITA launched an offshore venture: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Rajasthan, with the collaboration of the French government, other French institutions of higher education (Ecole Centrale, Polytechnique, Supelec and Troyes Technological University) and the Indian Institute of Technology of Kanpur.

The Open Source Workshop, dedicated to promoting royalty-free technologies, launched the first edition of an Open Source Day.
This workshop was open to all and started with the same spirit as the already organized workshops for Microsoft and Adobe technologies.

From April 11 to April 15, we will be hosting the 3rd edition of our International Week during which our partners and team will provide a variety of lectures, conferences, workshops and international fair to both initiate and encourage students from their second year to study and work abroad.

Yubin JEONG and Seungeon JIN spent the Fall semester at Epita as exchange students from the University of Seoul in Korea. As a thank you to them, we're sharing their parting testimonials:

“It was too short... But I learnt a lot. During the week, I could study with people from all over the world. On weekends, I could see beautiful scenery of Paris. It was fun and I will miss studying here.”

“Do you want to experience something exciting and enjoyable? I'll tell you how: first do not hesitate to learn French and make an effort to get in touch with French students. Second, you'll see it's not too hard to make French friends! With the new International Club (newly named EpiWORLD), you'll accomplish your goals!”

Photographer's note: I took this picture on my 22nd birthday. Regardless of the very cold weather, people from all over the world gathered around the most famous tower of the 19 century. Its glorious light reflects the atmosphere of Paris on the Seine.
