  9. Program characteristics • Integration and immersion • Individual placement of students in research groups • Study buddies and language tandems • Combined activities with other groups • Living in host families (if requested) • Research experience • Individual research/study project or internship

  10. Application through ISEP • Exchange balance: 0.25 • No program fees (2.500 Euro), but ISEP fees at home university plus some additional fees for excursions • ISEP benefits: 450 Euro/monthly (accomodation and meals) • Acceptance of ISEP health insurance
