Partnerships in Asia
China
In 1990, Centrale Lyon signed its first partnership agreement with a Chinese university - which was none other than the prestigious Tsing-Hua University in Beijing. Extended to include the Jiaotong university network, this is the agreement underlying the 1996 4+4 accords between the four French Ecoles Centrale, Tsing Hua and the three Jiaotong universities of Chengdu, Shanghai et Xi'an. This agreement is taken as a model by the French and Chinese authorities.
Concretely, these co-operation agreements cover end-of-study work in China, double degree programs for French and Chinese students (the first double degrees were awarded in 2003), a large number of collaboration projects in research, PhD theses, and industrial partnerships on specific training modules - for Alstom or SNECMA. On top of this, every year some 5% of our students are learning Chinese at Centrale Lyon.
Partnership with China has also borne fruit in the form of our Shenzhen office, where Centrale Lyon figures as the sole non-Chinese university within the network of the Hi-Tech Virtual University Park of Shenzhen.
Partnership with China further means the honor of receiving distinguished Chinese visitors on our campus - and most especially, the visit of President Hu Jintao of the People's Republic of China, who became Doctor in Honoris Causa of Centrale Lyon in November 2001.
Centrale Lyon heads the Centrale Graduate School's China Project. In this capacity, we co-ordinate new development projects run for European companies or the Chinese authorities.
Centrale Lyon has appointed Ms Cheng Sun as China Project Leader, assisted on specific projects by Mr. Raymond Volant.

Indonesia
The University of Indonesia in Jakarta and the Polytechnic Institute of Bangdung are two universities that forged close links with Centrale Lyon as of the mid-80s. Our teachers go out to teach civil engineering to Indonesian students in Jakarta, and we regularly receive top quality doctoral students. Since 2001, double degree programs have been operating with the University of Indonesia.
Japan
The year 2000 was the 20th anniversary of Japanese being taught in Centrale Lyon - not to mention a hundred or more internships in Japanese corporations (and 75 in IHI alone!). Students of ours take their 3rd year in Tokyo, Kyoto or Sendai, and every year two or three of them actually try, with Japanese government support, taking a 100% Japanese MSc - and they succeed brilliantly!
Centrale Lyon made a point of honoring Mr. Inaba, C.E.O. of IHI, and Pr. Koji Kato of Tohoku University with a degree of Doctor in Honoris Causa.
PhD theses under joint direction, research carried out with Tohoku, Iwate, Kobe and Kyoto labs, visits from Japanese scientists, industrial partnerships, and our Japan Club are so many other aspects of this co-operation. And 2003 saw a new phase being entered into, in a formal co-operation agreement with Tohoku University in Sendaï.

Vietnam
Longstanding co-operation in energetics and thermal machines has given rise to the signing of collaboration agreements with the three polytechnic institutes of Danang, Hanoi and Ho-Chi-Minh-Ville. The School regularly welcomes Vietnamese students on our general engineering courses.
