Rendez-vous en France

The French magazine “L’Étudiant” has just released its 2025 edition of the overall ranking of the “best” student cities in France.  This year, the editorial team compared 47 French cities—each hosting more than 8,000 students—across a wide range of criteria. Alongside this official ranking, the platform also invited students themselves to vote for their favourite cities, using more personal and subjective factors. The results vary depending on the ranking: cities are not necessarily on top in both rankings— a reminder that no matter the metrics, student life thrives in cities across the country!

The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs has awarded 125 visiting fellowships under the Make Our Planet Great Again (MOPGA) 2025 program. These grants will support 12-month research stays in France for early-career international researchers from 42 different countries, starting next fall.

On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, Donatienne Hissard, Director General of Campus France, and Marc Millet, Regional Councilor for the Normandy Region, signed a partnership agreement aimed at promoting Normandy in Europe and worldwide as a hub of industrial expertise, academic excellence, and high quality of life.
