Exclusive Services for You
The Lorraine Excellence Initiative (Lorraine I-SITE) is based on a research and training strategy for the Lorraine site, which identifies scientific fields supported by Université de Lorraine and the seven local partners: CNRS, INRAE, INRIA, INSERM, CHRU of Nancy, AgroParisTech, and GeorgiaTech Europe. Together, they are shaping a unique multidisciplinary academic site in France.
GUEST Postdocs
AND RESEARCHERS
In this context, the Welcome@Lorraine program provides international researchers hosted by Lorraine I-SITE partners with “VIP” assistance for stays of at least 3 months.
Discover the exclusive services we provide for postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars whose stay exceeds 3 months:
- Individual welcome on arrival at the train station
- Provision of Temporary Accommodation (proportional to the total duration of the stay, up to one month) for you, your spouse, and your minor child(ren).
- Individual assistance upon arrival and advice on finding accommodation, welcome pack (goodies, 10-journey transport pass, etc.) upon request.
- Aid with arrival formalities if necessary: bank, housing insurance and possibility of assistance with the various administrative procedures.
- Advice on and assistance with putting your children in school.
- Assistance with CAF (Family Allowances Fund) procedures if necessary.
- Coverage of French classes for the researcher and their spouse is provided in the context of specific programs (PAUSE and prof@Lorraine).
Applications must be sent:
- at least 1 month before the effective arrival date of the researcher, their spouse and children
- by the the host research or training unit exclusively to isite-welcome-lorraine@univ-lorraine.fr
Important!
- In order to ensure top-quality service, no direct application or application at too short notice can be taken into consideration as such assistance must form part of a well-defined and prepared collaboration project.
- If you’re a guest researcher who is eligible for this program, contact the host laboratory or training component directly so that it can make the request on your behalf.
Eligibility requirements: postdocs and researchers officially invited by a training component or laboratory, or employed by Lorraine I-SITE partners, for more than 3 months.
