On June 26, 2013, the president of Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture de Paris la Villette, French Republic, paid a courtesy call to President Furuyama during which they entered into meaningful talks.

Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture de Paris la Villette, established in 1969, is a national university specializing in the field of architecture. Its relationship with KIT saw its beginnings with the 1999 signing of an international exchange agreement. Exchange and interaction has continued steadily between our institutions ever since. In particular, with regard to student exchange, we have sent and received students nearly every year since that time, making both institutions a noteworthy partner of the other.

In the course of the informative discussion, KIT learned about the current trends in student and researcher exchange in Europe and both parties reconfirmed their desire to continue to promote the Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture de Paris la Villette /KIT coalition and exchange.
