Thales is proud of the successes achieved with this programme, which since 2006 has enabled some 131 students from Brazil, China, India and Russia to study in France, in partnership with 10 of the country’s leading universities.

Through Thales Academia, the Group has demonstrated its commitment in conjunction with the French Ministry of Foreign & European Affairs to French higher education and efforts to promote its values and excellence at international level.

Thales will of course continue to provide full support for the 24 students on current placements for the 2010-2011 academic year, and wishes to thank the various programme partners for their involvement and their vital role in the success and credibility of Thales Academia.
