France receives very few Indonesian students who choose to study abroad (more than 50,000 per year), more to China, Australia to the United States. France is far behind the UK and even Germany.
Indonesian universities are interested in Europe and therefore France, which has a very good reputation in science and technology, and has a card to play to promote in particular its training of engineers.
The Network "n+i" and POLITEKNIK NEGERI PADANG have agreed to sign a cooperation agreement which opens the way for exchanges and collaborations between French and Indonesian establishments.
