I – INTRODUCTION Welcome to Lyon: Heart of Europe!

ISARA-Lyon is located in Lyon, in the south-east of France, in a very dynamic environment close to companies, research centers and professionals working in agriculture, food industry, rural development and environment sectors. The second-ranking city in France in regard to its number of students, Lyon possesses a rich cultural and gastronomic tradition and an ‘old town’ which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Our lively city will offer you an exceptional quality of life. Studying in Lyon is indeed an opportunity for the city’s 130,000 students to take advantage of fascinating sites and events, including the evening parties organized on barges, the renowned Light Festival (Fête des Lumières), the international Dance Festival (Biennale de la Danse), the Nuits de Fourvière music, dance and theatre festivals held outdoors in an ancient Roman Amphitheatre, or, if you prefer, free organized roller-blading tours offered every Friday to discover Lyon by night… Apart from culture, gastronomy and sports, Lyon is also a big city which has remained convivial and is easy to explore on foot. You will have the chance to take part in a variety of leisure activities, thanks to Lyon’s favorable situation near the mountains and the sea. The natural diversity of this area (Mediterranean and temperate climate, plains and mountains) provides easy access to a wide range of activities related to agriculture and food: various crop products (fruit, cereal plants, vines, and vegetables), cattle breeding, and many other activities which are strongly linked to a huge network of food-processing industries. ISARA-Lyon is situated at AGRAPOLE, an excellence cluster created by Rhône-Alpes local authorities, specialized in agriculture and food, which includes over fifty professional organizations working in these sectors.

II – THE INSTITUTE

A - GENERAL INFORMATION ISARA-Lyon was created in 1968 to train students to become managers specialized in agriculture. ISARA-Lyon delivers an engineer diploma (master level diploma accredited by French State), international masters and professional bachelors. From its creation, rural development has been an important part of ISARA higher education and research activities. In the 1980’s, ISARA’s fields of activity expanded further to include domains in relation with agricultural marketing and management, agrifood technologies and the environment. New curricula were created, among which the vocational engineering training (MSc level), a specialized post-master diploma, a professional Bachelor of Sciences, engineering training in apprenticeship (MSc level), 2 MSc in Agroecology and, 1 MSc in Sustainable Food Systems. Applied research, study, consulting and expertise activities have also been developed by ISARA-Lyon in the last 20 years. These activities play a very important role in our higher education programmes by improving professors’ skills, creating linkages with professional and scientific stakeholders, developing ISARA’s reputation, among other benefits. ISARA-Lyon develops its higher education and R&D partnership in the Provence-Côte-d’Azur area with the integration of ISEMA (Institut Supérieur Européen de Management Agroalimentaire) and also by being a member to the “Fruits & Vegetables” Cluster. In April 2007, ISARA-Lyon moved to the Gerland district, an area which has gained importance in the city due to scientific and biotechnological development.

Some figures on ISARA-Lyon Established as a non-profit organization in 1968 Budget: € 9.8 million 100 professors, scientists and administrative employees 200 professional lecturers Approximately 800 students and apprentices in attendance each year

E - BANK ACCOUNT Once in Lyon, you can open a bank account. A French bank account is mandatory if you want to apply for housing allowance. How to open a bank account in France? • Take an appointment per phone or go directly to an agency. • Bring:

- Your passport.

- Your Visa.

- An Housing attestation.

- The ISARA attestation of enrollment.

- A Scholarship attestation if you have one.

Usually, opening a bank account for a relatively short period of time is free. However, prices depend on the agency.

The offer also supplies a MasterCard that you can use abroad with no additional cost. /!\ Do not forget to close your account when you leave France. If needed, bank agencies also provide fairly-priced home insurance for student.

F - HOUSING ALLOWANCE CAF (Caisse des Allocations Familiales) is a family benefits organization. As a student renting an apartment in France, you

are eligible for a housing allowance - called “Aide Personnalisée au Logement” (APL) - provided by this organization. The

amount depends on the location of the apartment, its surface area and the revenues of the student.

To apply online - www.caf.fr - you need:

- Your complete address in France.

- A proof of income (scholarships, wages, etc.).

- Your French bank details.

- Your email address.

When the online application is done, you need to set up a file. The following documents need to be joined to the file:

- A « demande d’aide au logement » form, completed by you.

- An housing attestation, completed by your landlord or CROUS.

- Your civil status documents (i.e ID, passport, birth certificate or family record book).

September and declaring your file to CAF only in October, you will receive the APL only from November on.

H - CELLPHONE PLAN

There are several telephone operators in France, offering a wide range of cellphone plans. We suggest you ask for a plan

“sans engagement” (without obligation). Getting a cellphone deal through a mobile virtual network operator is usually

more affordable (for example: Virgin Mobile, Sosh, NRJ Mobile, etc.)

/!\ Please note: To get a cellphone plan in France you MUST open a bank account beforehand.

I - HEALTH AND INSURANCE Upon arrival and if you don’t have one already, you must subscribe to a civil liability insurance (Responsabité Civile) which protects you for many types of claims/ damage. (Around 16 -25 € with LMDE or SMERRA)

If you are a citizen of the European Union (EU) or a European Economic Area (EEA): Please bring your European Health Insurance Card. Please check the expiry date. It will exclude you from the mandatory subscription to the French Health Insurance System.

If you are NOT citizen of the European Union (EU) or a European Economic Area (EEA) and if you will stay in France for more than 3 months, you must subscribe to the French Students’ Health Insurance Scheme (€ 213 for one academic year – price valid for 2014-15). You will have the choice between two students’ health insurance scheme: LMDE or SMERRA. If needed, they can also provide fairly-priced home insurance for students Students over 28 years old are not eligible for the students’ health insurance scheme. They must subscribe to a private insurance. You can find it with LMDE => Couverture étudiant étranger Or with Crystal Studies: A private insurance adapted for foreign students over 28. If you want more information, please contact Sigolène VERNERET, she will put you though our partner. If in your home country, you do not have any complementary insurance to reimburse your expenses not reimbursed by the basic Health Insurance Scheme, you are strongly recommended to subscribe one in France. Sigolène Verneret will give you more information once you are at ISARA-Lyon. Please consider that these options can be less expensive and more adapted than insurance in your home country. (If you have bought a private insurance in your country, please check if the repatriation insurance is included).

institutional and business leaders thanks to the Jeunes Ambassadeurs program.

The Jeunes Ambassadeurs program is based on the principle of reciprocity.

The program for a Jeune Ambassadeur lasts 6 months (from October to April) during which time the students will form a

pair with their “business coach” and attend different events. Also, each student will put together a project linking –

economically, culturally, scientifically… – France and their home country. This project will be submitted to the association,

and the successful ones, awarded. If you want more information on the projects developed by the former Jeunes

Ambassadeurs, please click here.

Benefiting from this program, upon return to their home country, the Jeunes Ambassadeurs will be able to communicate

on the expertise of the companies and the relations established with their directors, encourage contacts between

members of the Jeune Ambassadeur network, and facilitate international partnerships by communicating information,

finding required correspondents, etc…

For more information on this association and their objectives, please check the link below.
