CNAM

The Cnam is a French institution of long standing (1794) and deep scientific tradition. It accomplishes three interrelated missions:

• Lifelong education for students and working professionals,
• Research in science, technology and management,
• Diffusion of this knowledge.

90 000 people are enrolled in our professional and management development programs and 7 000 students are earning an undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degree. We held over 350 national and international conferences, managed over 5 million in research contracts and applied for 4 patents last year.

The Musée des Arts et Métiers was also created in 1794. It is made up of seven principal sections, presented in chronological order: Scientific instruments, Materials, Construction, Communication, Energy, Engineering and Transports. Among the highlights of the museum: Lavoisier's gasometers, Corning optical fibres, the cinematograph device by the Lumière brothers, Watt's steam engine, Volta's first invention of the battery, as well as a type 020 locomotive by Stephenson. The museum regularly organises lectures, debates and temporary exhibitions.

Visiting Paris

Paris is a close-knit and welcoming place with a pleasant climate. The Seine cuts across the city and two woods on either side offer a breath of fresh air. Indeed, Paris has been blessed by nature. From Lutetia to the Napoleon Bonaparte Empire, from the declaration of the Republic to the Paris Commune: Paris was right at the heart of events that marked French history and shaped its present.

There are more than 40 museums in Paris, France, from egyptian antiquity to XVIII th century painting in the Louvre and from Impressionnists to Modern Art through Orsay and Picasso Museums. Paris is home to a varied population. A high proportion of students, young workers and elderly people, many tourists and a large number of foreign residents: a genuine cultural wealth.
