Paris-Saclay
Paris-Saclay is a research-intensive and business cluster currently under construction in the south of Paris, France. It encompasses research facilities, two French major universities with higher education institutions (''grandes écoles'') and also research centers of private companies. In 2013, the Technology Review put Paris-Saclay in the top 8 world research clusters. In 2014, it comprised almost 15% of French scientific research capacity. The earliest settlements are from the 1950s, and this area was subsequently extended several times during the 1970s and 2000s. Several projects are underway to continue the development of the campus, including the relocation of some facilities. The area is now home to many of the Europe's largest high-tech corporations, and to the two French universities Paris-Saclay University (CentraleSupélec, ENS Paris-Saclay, Paris-Saclay Faculty of Science, etc.) and the Polytechnic Institute of Paris (''École Polytechnique'', Telecom Paris, et ...

Top Industrial Managers For Europe
Top International Managers in Engineering (T.I.M.E.), formerly Top Industrial Managers for Europe, is a network of fifty-seven engineering schools, faculties and technical universities. The oldest European network of engineering schools in its field, the T.I.M.E. Association promotes graduate student exchanges and double degrees throughout Europe and the world to enable students to achieve a broader, high-level scientific engineering education with in-depth intercultural experience. Several hundreds of graduate students per year participate in T.I.M.E. mobility activities and pursue double degrees (at Master and Doctorate levels). Double degrees require the participating student to spend more than three semesters in another member university and at least the same in her/his home university, in order to be awarded two full degrees. The T.I.M.E. network includes primarily graduate engineering schools and technical universities from Europe, but increasing numbers of members are now ...
