ATHENS Programme
Presentation and Objectives
ATHENS is a programme of scientific and cultural exchanges proposed twice a year (in March and November) to students of the schools and Universities making up the network of the same name.
Set up in 1996, the ATHENS network (Advanced Technology Higher Education Network/Socrates) consists of ParisTech and 14 European Universities. Each year, 5000 students take part in the exchanges, and about 2100 of them go on a session in another country of the network.
This programme consists of a 1-week course module to be picked from all those offered by the partners, as well as a programme of cultural activities by the host University.
At the termination of an ATHENS Session, the Home Institution officially recognises the work carried out, according to the results obtained on an examination organised by the Host Institution and evaluated according to its proper system of grading. Each complete Session is generally worth 2 to 3 ECTS credits. The number of credits given depends on the home University.

November 16-23, 2013 session in Paris
Information for incoming foreign students:
- Arrival date: Friday, November 15

- Termination date: Saturday November 23 (No activity on Saturday)

About Housing in Paris: students who will ask for a room when they register will be housed by ParisTech in very “simple” forms of lodging. Rooms are reserved for 8 nights, from Friday to Saturday morning (except for KUL students who get a 7 nights reservation, from Saturday to Saturday morning). Once reservations have been made for students, they cannot be changed except for major reasons.
Given the number of students to be housed, ParisTech cannot reserve rooms before or after these dates and it will not be possible to change rooms after arrival. - The average total cost for a 8 nights stay in Paris is about 400 Euros (this average price includes cheap meals)
All the information will be available here on November 6

General programme (for non ParisTech incoming students)
WARNING! Because of the very big number of foreign ATHENS students in Paris, ParisTech is not able to offer the visits to ParisTech students. The general programme thus concerns ONLY students coming to Paris from other Universities. - European dimension activities: Montmartre, Beaubourg, la Marais/ Musée Carnavalet
