Many students from North Africa have prepared their thesis in Centrale Lyon's laboratories, and the bonds of friendship which have formed with various universities as a result have led to teamwork in training and in research: chemistry, fluid mechanics, materials, tribology, computer science, electrical engineering - just about every field an engineer can get involved in! The main partners here are: Sfax and Monastir Universities, the Ecole Nationale Polytechnique of Algiers, and Mohamed V University.
