ECIU University
INSA Toulouse, via the INSA Group, has been a member of the European Alliance ECIU University since 2019 (www.eciu.org). This European project offers a comprehensive partnership programme between 12 European partner institutions, both in terms of training and in terms of research, innovation and relations with companies and local authorities.
As part of the ECIU mobility programme, INSA students have the opportunity to take part in challenges under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 11, “Sustainable Cities and Communities”. They respond to these challenges within teams of European learners, which leads them to perform academic mobilities (both physical and virtual) so as to acquire the knowledge and skills bricks offered in the different member universities of the Alliance.
FITEC
Agreements exist between the INSA Group and many universities in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. These intergovernmental programs (ARFITEC; BRAFITEC; MEXFITEC) allow engineering students to study for one or two semesters, possibly followed by an internship in one of the partner universities of the INSA Group.
It is strongly recommended that you consult the department’s “International Relations” correspondent and the International Relations Office to find out about existing cooperation agreements and the procedures to be followed.
