Who are we ?
Science Welcome is an association created on the 20th of April 1999, which gathers together most of the research and academic centres of the area as well as the Communauté d'Agglomération du Plateau de Saclay.
It stems from the welcome structure organized by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Plateau de Saclay in June 1997.Purpose of the association
The aim of Science Welcome is to help people coming for professional purposes and for a temporary stay to find living accommodations and to group together all the informations (administration, housing, French courses, leisure, ...) which may be of use to them then and later during their stay, if they need to contact a particular service or person.
Science Welcome doesn't work alone, but uses all the facilities of our national and local partners to welcome you.Science Welcome is member of BRACE (Regional Office of Foreign Researchers). This organization is managed by Cité internationale universitaire de Paris and supported by Conseil Régional of Ile-de-France. As part of this regional network, Science Welcome can propose furnished accommodations to foreign researchers that mobility centres of Ile-de-France receive. Those mobility centres are : BACE (Paris), CMPN (North of Paris) and BiCi (Marne-la-Vallée).
So Science Welcome can propose accommodation to all the gests of establishments which are members of our association and to foreign researchers of Paris, Paris 8 university (St-Denis), Paris 13 university (Villetaneuse / Bobigny), Supmeca (St-Ouen) and Marne-la-Vallée, if they come from mobility centres only.Members of Science Welcome
