2025 Fulbright IEA seminar for 14 representatives of American universities in France
The 2025 delegation of 14 American administrators from the Fulbright International Education Administrators Program traveled to Reims, Troyes, and Paris to explore the richness and diversity of the French higher education system.
In Reims, they met with URCA, NEOMA Business School, and Sciences Po to discuss educational innovation, collaborative research, and university-industry partnerships. They visited research hubs such as EXEBIO, IIAS, and the Institute for Vine and Wine, and concluded the day with a reception at the City Hall.
In Troyes, the delegation explored UTT and the IUT, focusing on interdisciplinary education, technology for societal impact, and vocational training. They also visited the Campus des Comtes de Champagne to learn about pedagogical innovation, teacher education, and regional engagement in higher education.
In Paris, the group attended a panel on “Women in STEM” with leading researchers, visited the CNRS, Institut Polytechnique, CIUP, and the Conservatoire National de Musique et de Danse, and engaged with Fulbright grantees about transatlantic academic experiences and international collaboration.
Over these ten days, the delegation strengthened Franco-American ties, shared best practices, and explored new opportunities for collaboration. Many thanks to all French institutions for their warm welcome and inspiring discussions!
