Read moreMétéo-France
Météo-France is the French national meteorological and climatological service. Its prime mission is to ensure meteorological safety for people and goods. It translates into a weather monitoring map that signals dangerous phenomena, their consequences, and the precautions to protect oneself. Sea forecast and avalanche monitoring complete these measures in Continental France, and a hurricane watch alert system for the Overseas territories.
Météo-France’s main missions consist of:
- the development and maintenance of surveillance network,
- the collection and processing of climatological data,
- the weather forecast,
- the elaboration of climatic projection,
- the research in the fields of meteorology and climatology.
Météo-France is at the service of 3 categories of clients:
- State services (people and goods safety) and Defence,
- the aeronautic sector,
- professionals in a variety of economic sectors (energy, local authorities, construction industry…)
Among Météo-France strong points is the ability to cover every aspect, from operational to research, at any scale of time and space. The interaction between engineers and researchers is an important asset.
A reference on a global scale, Météo-France holds an important place among the main organisms of meteorological cooperation: the World Weather Organisation (WWO), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat), and Eumetnet.
Météo-France is currently under the jurisdiction of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition.

MINES ParisTech, the École des Mines de Paris, is one of the oldest French higher education institutions in engineering. While its inspirational model has not changed, its teaching methods and its research have been anticipating and accompanying its times ever since 1783.
Mines ParisTech is a “Grande ecole” centred on its research activities. it encompasses all fields of scientific knowledge thanks to 15 innovative research centers exploring five major fields. With 260 research academics, 400 doctoral students and 60 post-doctoral students, Mines ParisTech ranks top among the Grandes ecoles for the volume of contractual research.
The institute’s laboratories are partly associated with CnRs, the ecole Polytechnique, inseRM, inRiA, institut Pasteur, etc. Their research, at the intersection of many fields, has led to
the emergence of new disciplines (geostatistics, mathematical morphology and automatic control systems) which are now studied by the scientific community and disseminated throughout industry and the services.
Mines Saint-Etienne
Mines Saint-Etienne’s mission is to support the economy by:
- Educating highly qualified managers with strong technical and scientific skills;
- Developing applied research to meet the needs of industry;
- Contributing to companies’ innovation, creation & competitiveness worldwide.
Foreign students may enroll in all or part of the master degree programmes – some of which are partly or fully conducted in English. Courses in French as a foreign language are offered on a regular basis and can be individually tailored. Foreign students may also work on their master theses at the École des Mines, for which regional and national grants are available. Visiting professors are welcome too, as well as foreign PhD candidates or to co-supervision of doctoral theses.
Read moreMuséum national d’Histoire naturelle (French National Natural History Museum)
Environmental awareness and protecting the planet lie at the heart of contemporary debates. The Muséum is fully committed to these issues and occupies a position of reference thanks to its varied missions, which include basic and applied research, conservation and the expansion of its collections, education, expertise and the dissemination of knowledge.
The Muséum is a research centre and draws on laboratory work and worldwide expeditions, a wide range of disciplines, outstanding collections and recognised expertise. Its mission is also to share knowledge, which it does through education and dissemination activities. With a clear objective – to make knowledge about the natural world accessible to everyone and to make as many people as possible aware of the importance of protecting our planet.
One of the Muséum’s distinctive features is that its activity is spread over 13 sites throughout France. Its historic heart is situated in Paris, at the Jardin des Plantes, where laboratories, exhibition galleries, a zoo and educational institutions can all be found. Two other key Parisian sites must also be mentioned – the Parc Zoologique de Paris and the Musée de l’Homme (re-opened in October 2015). The remaining sites to be discovered in all four corners of France include two marine stations, an arboretum, a zoo, botanical gardens, a prehistoric excavation site and laboratories.
This historic institution was created in 1635. Originally a royal garden for medicinal purposes and an educational institution, it became the Natural History Muséum in 1793. For four centuries, it has been the source of major scientific discoveries in natural sciences. It has developed over the years thanks to some great minds. Buffon in the 18th century and Daubenton, Lamarck, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Cuvier in the 19th century all provided excellent teaching, extended and studied the collections and were deeply committed to sharing their knowledge with the public.
Today, many different professions exist side by side at the Muséum. Teacher-researchers hunting down knowledge to make scientific progress, taxidermists devoted to giving back power, movement and expression to specimens in the collections, gardeners rising to the challenge of growing plants from different climates in the alpine garden, electricians, carpenters, reception assistants, vets, museologists… all working with the same passion and with one single aim – to further explore and promote nature in order to protect it better.

With over 300 international partners across the globe and an ever-growing list of dual degrees, the University of Angers has a definite international dimension.
The University of Angers makes every effort to help its 25,000 students achieve academic success and find employment. For several years now it has had the highest pass rate in France for 3-year bachelor’s degree courses, thanks to its lecturers and researchers and to the measures implemented in favour of high school and university students.
At high school level the University of Angers has created a full package of measures to support future students in their training choices and foster their integration and success during their first year at university. UA is also working hard to guide its students when taking their first steps in higher education (through tutoring programmes, small-group work, continuous assessment…) and to help them with extra-curricular tasks (thanks to the InfoCampus desk where student advisors provide information on transport, accommodation, grants, etc.)
The Ip’Oline platform allows access to internships and job offers, as well as networking with other students, alumni, teachers and businesses. This approach clearly works since UA boasts a 90% employability rate 30 months after graduation.
