- We can also give you advice, and even handle certain applications for hosting agreements ("Convention d'accueil")
- If you are employed by CY Cergy Paris University and need to register for social security as a non-European citizen, we can contact the appropriate state health insurance office (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie) for you
- We provide personalized support for your housing search.Whenever possible, we put you in contact with our partners (CROUS residences, residences for young professionals, university housing, residences with special deals for researchers…)
- With the help of Paris 8 University and CY Cergy Paris University, we organize cultural visits for PhD students and researchers
