Partner Institutions
A Partner Institution is a foreign university or research institute with which Ecole Polytechnique has developed a partnership in the framework of the Internship Program. The list of Partner Institutions for this Program is a limited list based on the whole list of Ecole Polytechnique Partners.
The Partner Institution nominates a professor or a staff member as a local contact for this Program. This contact person manages all the aspects of this Program at the local level: informing students and faculty members in his/her institution/department about the Program, forwarding the internship subjects and selecting internship candidates.

Financial Support & Accommodation
Depending on the terms of the partnership between Ecole Polytechnique and the student's Home Institution, the financial support for the internship will be provided by the Home University, by Ecole Polytechnique through the Vice Presidency for External Relations (DRE) or through other sources of funding.
For interns receiving financial support from Ecole Polytechnique, a monthly stipend ranging from 600 E to 800 E, depending on the level of the student and its country of origin, will be provided to cover accommodation, meals and personal expenses. This stipend includes health coverage. For some countries (India for instance), the roundtrip airfare could be covered by the Program in the form of a flat amount.
Interns admitted in the Program will benefit from the assistance of the Vice Presidency for External Relations to obtain when required a Visa, a Residency Permit ("Carte de Séjour") and accommodation on campus in the limits of student dorm rooms reserved for the Program.
Interns fully funded by the host laboratory could benefit from these services if the Vice Presidency for External Affairs is informed at the latest 3 months before the beginning of the internship.
