'Silk Roads' is an association registered under French law which aims at organizing in both countries a two-week exchange every year between twenty Chinese students and the same number of French students. It is organized by students for students. The exchange is held alternatively in France and in China every year. The first exchange took place on February 2005 inFrance, while the return exchange happened in October 2005 inChina. The Chinese students involved in this program have been selected among students from the best Chinese Universities, located in Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing. These universities are partners of ParisTech, and the French students belong to engineering schools from this network, including the Ecole Polytechnique, the Ecole des Mines de Paris, the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées and Télécom Paris, and since this year, the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers.

The goal of the exchanges between France and China is to enable students to discover both industrial worlds and running of future partnerships. The main aim of “Silk Roads” is the realization of a market research or technical report in partnership with each of the sponsoring companies. This report is realized by a bicultural team, regrouping 3 students of each nationality, supervised by a tutor in the sponsoring company and another one found in the universities taking part in Silk Roads. The purpose of these studies is to bring some external support and expertise to companies on important issues regarding their Sino French opportunities, while enabling these sponsoring companies to test “in real life” the students working on the study in a recruiting perspective. The results of the research will lead to a presentation within the companies. A final report will be written presenting the conclusions of the study. Besides these studies, visits of sponsoring companies willing to present their activities will be held for all participants. Three workshops about Sino French industrial themes will be organized within the universities taking part in the program to present some achievements in this field. These workshops will gather lecturers from universities as well as from the corporate world. Finally some cultural events such as visits to museums will be organized in order to get to know each other’s culture and improve the communication and the working atmosphere amongst the participants.
