In terms of student mobility, our objective over the next 4 years is 200 students on mobility to the US each year, 100 in MSc programs top universities and 100 in internship programs. We are building on research collaboration or interest from researchers at Arts et Métiers in order to reinforce partnerships with universities, our role being to facilitate these collaborations.

Arts et Métiers now offers a full 2 year MSc program in English, so we are also promoting this to US universities during the visit.

Our strategy is ambitious but we strongly believe that research is the key to successful and fruitful collaborations for the future.
