Tohoku Lyon Summer School
May. 25, 2009 For the first time, INSA Lyon is preparing a summer school program, specially designed for the Tohoku University students, within the frame of ELyT Lab and therefore combining cooperation from ECL and Tohoku University.
Early September 2009, 20 Japanese students (10 PhD students and 10 master students) will attend a 12-day session in Lyon.
During this seminar, the students will get an overview of the different possibilities to come and study in Europe.
The programme will include scientific lectures and conferences. Those conferences are related to the ELyT Lab fields of study and all lecturers (French or Japanese) are members of the ELyt Lab network.
An introduction to French language and culture is part of the programme too. The aim is to promote scientific exchanges and mobility among young researchers.
This project is therefore part of a global educational offer made to the students. The summer school will help Japanese students to realize how easy and fruitful life can be in Lyon, and will then act as a bridge between undergraduate students and our double degree programme or doctorate courses.
