In Partnership with the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the THALES Group launched an initiative aimed at promoting the excellence of French further education by enabling students from target countries to complete their academic studies in France.
This scheme, officially known as THALES Academia, comprises financial support for its recipients, as well as tutoring by professionals from the THALES Group.
In 2006-07, an initial class of 21 students from India and China was selected, in partnership with certain engineering and management schools. Two Indian students at ESSEC following the Specialized Master’s in Strategy and Management of International Business benefited from this scheme.
