Strong links with Industry

Putting companies at the heart of engineering training is a strategic axis chosen by EURECOM since its creation.

• EURECOM is located in Sophia Antipolis, the largest technology park in Europe
  • 23 000 companies
  • 36 300 jobs
  • 5 000 students
  • 4 500 researchers
  • 1 000 jobs created per year
• EURECOM is a consortium whose members are major European universities and French and European companies. Industrial members contribute to the evolution of courses by issuing recommendations related to the emergence of new skills needs in their companies. 
• To help students to find an internship to help them in their professional orientation, the school organizes, with the help of a team of students, the EURECOM Forum.  Each year students have a unique opportunity to initiate fruitful exchanges with companies that offer internships, recruitment and career prospects
