The Science Accueil Information Point (PISA) welcomes you at GATE and provides information in French and English.
Depending on your status, your nationality, your family situation, you will receive an adapted roadmap summarizing the steps to follow. Science Accueil’s trained reception staff is also there to guide you through the GATE, from one operator to another, and help you with any difficulties you may have in filling out official paperwork.
Students, scientists and employees can submit their applications for residence permits or renewals to the residence permit office (Palaiseau Sub-Prefecture offices located at the GATE). These files have been put together beforehand, for most visitors, with the help of the referent of their establishment (person authorised by the Prefecture)..
PISA visitors whose host institution is not equipped to provide this assistance are accompanied at PISA in the preparation of their file by trained and authorized personnel.
Beyond this administrative or practical support open to all, users from Science Accueil member institutions have access to all the association’s offers “agitatrice de mobilité”: housing search with special conditions, reassurance program, partnerships with banks and insurance companies and of course access to French courses, cultural visits and events programmed by Science Accueil throughout the year.
