Esisar Goes Armenian: a week of inspiring exchanges with NPUA

From October 6 to 9, Esisar welcomed Ani Mamikonyan, the International Relations Officer from the National Polytechnic University of Armenia (NPUA).
Located in the heart of Yerevan, NPUA is a strategic partner of Grenoble INP - Esisar.

During her March 2025 visit, Darine Kaddour, Associate Professor and Head of International Relations at Esisar, experienced the advantages of this prestigious university and its state-of-the-art facilities. The multicultural environment, rooted in scientific and technological innovation, makes it a prime destination for Erasmus+ academic mobility or international internships.
 

In her turn, Ani Mamikonyan introduced our students to this training program, which aligns with that offered by Grenoble INP - Esisar. This collaboration is already well underway, with two NPUA students currently enrolled in the IMESS Master's program at Esisar. It was also an opportunity to meet them and discuss their experiences.
Discussions held at Grenoble INP and its schools provided an opportunity to explore ways to strengthen cooperation. 

Throughout the week, Ani Mamikonyan visited Esisar, the LCIS laboratory, and the Esynov technology platform. Her visit concluded at the Armenian Cultural Center in Valence, where she received a warm welcome from its president, Sossy Topalian-Andonian, and Alain Jinbachian, co-president of the Drôme-Ardèche April 24 Committee.
The week concluded with a joint interview on Radio A featuring Ani Mamikonyan and Darine Kaddour, showcasing the productive collaboration between the institutions and highlighting the dynamic partnership.
