🌉 That’s a wrap for GadzMeet 2026 in San Francisco! 🎉

What a weekend! It was wonderful to bring together students and Gadz’Arts alumni from across the U.S. for two days of connections, conversations, shared experiences, and great moments together.

From exploring San Francisco and reconnecting with old friends to meeting new people and sharing experiences between generations, GadzMeet is all about bringing our community together — wherever we are in the U.S. 🇺🇸🇫🇷

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, whether you came from the Bay Area, New York, Atlanta, Texas, Michigan, or elsewhere. Your enthusiasm and energy made this weekend special! ❤️

We hope everyone went home with new connections, great memories, and the desire to meet again soon.

📸 Here are a few memories from GadzMeet 2026!

See you at the next GadzMeet!

🌍 Arts et Métiers obtient un important financement Erasmus+ 2026 pour la mobilité internationale !

Arts et Métiers franchit une nouvelle étape dans le développement de son rayonnement à l'international en obtenant une subvention de 3 051 382 € dans le cadre des projets de mobilité Erasmus+ 2026, soutenus par les fonds de politique extérieure. Il s'agit du plus important financement accordé cette année pour ce type de projet.

🪙 Cette enveloppe permettra de financer 386 mobilités d'étudiant·es, doctorant·es et personnels entre 2026 et 2029, avec 9 établissements partenaires dans 6 pays : le Maroc, la Tunisie, la Malaisie, l'Indonésie, le Vietnam et les États-Unis.

Cette réussite renforce des partenariats stratégiques, notamment avec l'École Arts et Métiers Campus de Rabat, l'Université de technologie de Petronas et Texas A&M University, tout en ouvrant de nouvelles collaborations internationales.

💰En complément, Arts et Métiers bénéficie également d'une subvention de 593 990 € pour soutenir les mobilités Erasmus+ en Europe. Chaque année, plus de 200 étudiant·es et une vingtaine de membres du personnel profitent ainsi d'une expérience internationale dans le cadre de leurs études, de stages ou de missions d'enseignement et de formation.

Une reconnaissance qui témoigne de l'engagement d'Arts et Métiers pour offrir à sa communauté des opportunités internationales toujours plus nombreuses et renforcer sa coopération avec les meilleures institutions académiques à travers le monde.

Being a mentor is simply a way to share my experience with students looking for internships or opportunities in the USA."

📝 Please read with Léopold Blaise (Cl 223), intern at Atelier Première (New York): "What I appreciate the most is the responsibility I'm given and the ability to make my own decisions. To give you an example, barely a month after arriving in New York, I was sent to LA to supervise a job site, all on my own! There's no better way to learn and get to grips with the trade quickly. I travel a lot, I meet very different people, and unexpected situations come up all the time, it's all very stimulating." https://americanfriendsam.org/blog/501-%E2%80%9Czoom-on%E2%80%9D-interview-with-l%C3%A9opold-blaise-cl-223.html
