💠 What is French+Sciences?
French+Sciences refers to 3 summer programmes, which are fully taught in English and designed for international students in sciences.
Each summer school lasts 3 weeks and combines a mix of French classes, visits to research centers and cultural activities. Participants will be involved in the scientific programme as future professionals, working within world-class firms and research organizations.

💠 When and where are French+Sciences summer schools taking place? On which topics do they focus?
