MONTPELLIER – The Organising Committee of the 13th FISU Forum is currently in full preparation mode to welcome all delegations from 4 to 9 July, 2016 in Montpellier, in the south of France. On 14 January, an important meeting was held at the Rectory of Montpellier.

This meeting was also attended by Aline Autin, head of communications of the Academy of Montpellier; Laurent Thieffaine, Director of the Rector’s (Mrs Pellec Muller) office and Philippe Rolland in charge of logistics.
