One place, multiple services
Launched on Thursday 6th September 2018, the international talent reception point, GATE, has been set up to provide international students and scientists at the Plateau de Saclay with access to a range of centralised services all in one place to deal with the principal administrative steps in preparation for settling in France.
This one-stop shop brings together the range of services delivered by the Sub-Prefecture, the Universities of Paris-Saclay and Paris-Sud, the higher education and research institutions in the area, Science Accueil (1), CPAM (social security), CAF (family benefits), Essonne, CROUS (student services), RATAP (regional public transport), UT DIRECCTE (regional agency for competition, consumer affairs, labour and employment), student health insurance mutuals, Pôle Emploi (state employment service) and Campus France (services for international students), to facilitate the settling-in process for international students, scientists and salaried workers in the Saclay area whilst minimising time and travel.
GATE will be open this year between 3rd September and 30th November 2018, at University Paris-Sud’s premises in Orsay, near the RER Line B station (building 311), from Mondays to Fridays, 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm.
