Cross-mobility programme between South Africa and France

The cross mobility programme was initiated by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs following a suggestion by Professor Achille Mbembé to the French President during the Africa France Summit which took place in Montpellier in October 2021, in order to enhance the mobility and the exchanges between the African continent and France. The experiment conducted in 2022 includes exchange of students between France and South Africa.

From September to December of 2022, five students from Stellenbosch University will be travelling to Bordeaux to study mathematics.
