How to Survive in Paris Welcome A Paris, as we know it, is the city of lights and the cradle u t of artistry, as well as the inspiration for young souls. h o W It is considered to be the most romantic city. What r s e could be elegant than having a café noir with hot fresh l c croissants in a little café on the side of Seine river? Or o taking your lover to the love padlocks bridge putting m e a lock there to remark your affection? But what else do you know about Paris? In the end, we were forced to pull our head off the cloud facing the other side of the city. We are young, wild and There are so many things to worry about while we are in Paris. Hence, we would sometimes easily lose our inspiration at points of frustration. It is the big letdown with the French bureaucratic paper work system, lack like to write about our experiences and pass it to the future international students, so that Paris would stay forever a true good idea.

  • Projects Financed by the 2018 Green and Sustainability Bond Edito
    RÉGION ÎLE-DE-FRANCE PROJECTS FINANCED BY THE 2018 GREEN AND SUSTAINABILITY BOND EDITO Citizens demand effective regional action. Our investors demand transparency on the projects they help finance. We are collectively committed to regional projects being integrated into a green and socially responsible approach, a source of sustainable development for our territories. That is why Région Île-de-France has decided to resort exclusively to green and responsible loans for its financing needs. As such, we are very proud that the Region was rewarded, in September 2018, with the most impressive local public issuer award for its green and responsible bond issues on financial markets ("Most Impressive Local Government Green/SRI Bond Issuer"), at the forum of responsible and sustainable capital markets in Amsterdam. The report, recognized as exemplary by the stakeholders, aims to report on environmentally and socially responsible investment projects that the Region materialises each year. It presents our most emblematic projects, built and led so as to promote balanced and sustainable development for the regional territory: environmental and social management of the project, in Valérie Pécresse, particular contribution to the struggle against global warming. President of Région Île-de-France I am thinking in particular of the construction of the new high schools focused on bioclimatic design and control of energy, water resources, air quality and acoustics and optimized impact construction sites, as testified by Lycée Lucie Aubrac at Courbevoie, which opened in September 2018. I am also thinking of several other great projects, such as the Vaires-Torcy high-level leisure and sports centre, the Olympic equipment that will host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic kayaking and rowing events, and the Grand Equipement Documentaire of Aubervilliers, the future reference cluster and centre of a university campus.

  • Pour Relever Les Défis Économiques Et Sociaux Du Grand Paris, L'actep Et
    Communiqué de presse Le 19 octobre 2012 Pour relever les défis économiques et sociaux du Grand Paris, l’ACTEP & UNIVERSITÉ PARIS-EST créent l’Observatoire Formations-Emplois du Transport L'arrivée du Grand Paris Express, et plus particulièrement d es Sites de Maintenance et de Remisage des trains et des Postes de Commandement Centralisés des lignes rouge et orange constituent une opportunité majeure pour le développement de l'Est francilien. La mise en service du tronçon sud, qui reliera notamment la Cité Descartes au site de Créteil, doit induire l'accès à des emplois spécifiques pour les habitants et les jeunes, élèves, étudiants ou apprentis, des territoires concernés. Dans ce contexte et dans le cadre de leur partenariat, l'ACTEP, l’Association des Collectivités Territoriales de l'Est Parisien, et le Pôle de Recherche et d’Enseignement Sup érieur (PRES) Université Paris-Est se sont réunis ce 16 octobre. Cette rencontre s’est déroulée à l’École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de la Ville et des Territoires à Marne-la-Vallée en présence des représentants de la Société du Grand Paris, de la RATP, du Conseil Général du Val-de-Marne, du Rectorat de l’Académie de Créteil, et des villes de Champigny-sur-Marne, Rosny-sous-Bois et Villiers-sur-Marne. L’enjeu est de taille : la mise en service des lignes rouge et orange du métro automatique à partir de 2018 et la création des sites de maintenance et poste de contrôle représentent à terme près de 1 500 emplois, de niveaux de qualification variés. Il s’agit donc de mobiliser l’appareil de formation initiale et continue pour répondre à ce défi de l’emploi et faire en sorte que l’Est francilien se prépare à ces échéances et les anticipe.
