Greetings From IUT Le Havre

After the great success of our “International Days at IUT Le Havre” in March 2023, we have decided to renew our event for March 2024!

We are therefore pleased to announce that we will be holding our new edition on Monday 18, Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 March 2024 at our IUT.

Last year, many partners regretted not being able to come because our invitation arrived too late after the beginning of classes in November 2023. So, we’ve decided to let you know now, so that you can get organized and make a note of the dates in your diary as soon as possible, and take the necessary steps to secure funding for your mission.

The principle remains the same (with plenty of new surprises!), and the preferred format will be one hour at a time, with lectures, classes and workshops during the three mornings (depending on your specialty), and more educational, cultural and pedagogical activities in the afternoons.

If you wish, you can also spend the rest of the week with us, to discover our University and our city, or to take the time to meet our partners and develop new collaborations on your side (Thursday March 21 and Friday March 22, 2024).

If you’re coming from Europe, you can organize an Erasmus mission to help finance your visit. We’d also like to remind you that we can send you a letter of invitation, so don’t hesitate to ask.

So make a note of the dates, get organized and come and join us for a week of sharing, learning and cultural experiences !!

With kind regards
