CampusFrance, a major tool in the knowledge economy
Students can then visit their local CampusFrance office where they will be assisted by staff that have been specially trained by the agency and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With their help, students can finalize their educational decision and complete the pre-consulate procedures: the motivation interview, verification of diplomas and creation of a digitized file accessible to the higher education institutions concerned. Supplementary informational materials can also be found in the local CampusFrance office.
The local offices will be in part responsible for promoting French higher education, particularly in the host country's universities, while CampusFrance-Paris will organize the major "showcase" events.
From its Paris headquarters, and acting under the authority of the diplomatic structures concerned, CampusFrance will also coordinate the implementation of the quality charter for the reception of foreign students by monitoring the phased-in application of 74 performance and result indicators. These indicators, in accordance with the highest international standards, define the quality of actions necessary to insure that all foreign students receive the best possible assistance - from their first expression of interest in France right through to their return home after their training.
Thanks to the integration of CNOUS international and EGIDE, CampusFrance facilities will be created in France as from 2007 which will result in higher quality care for foreign students after their arrival in France; experiments will be conducted in the coming year in order to make generally available a number of concrete improvements as from 2008 including detailed guidance, tutors, a single contact point and a maximum degree of personalized assistance.
