The E-Curie Program, also popularly known as Landry Scholarships, is the Kingdom of Saintonge’s long-running student and academic exchange program. Its official name Programme E-Curie is an abbreviation for Programme des Échanges culturels, de recherche et d’innovation, et éducatifs (“Cultural, Research and Innovation, and Educational Exchanges Program”). Its other name, Landry Scholarships, derives from the prime architect of the 1951 Loi des échanges éducatifs (1951 Loi Landry), Christophe-Childéric Landry. The 1951 Loi Landry expanded on a program that had been running for almost half a century in Saintonge (see history).
Under the E-Curie Program, interested and gifted scholars throughout the world are invited to study or train in universities in Saintonge (see list of institutions participating in the program). Almost all fields (except clinical medical research involving patient contact) may be covered by the E-Curie program.
Scholars’ tuition fees are waived; and stipends and living expenses are provided. The E-Curie program covers 30,000 students at any given time; about 6,000 slots open every year. Due to the limited slots, the E-Curie program is one of the most prestigious and most competitive exchange programs in Eras (more information on the application process here). Countries which subsidise or significantly assist their scholars in Saintonge will have access to a larger share of the quota.
The second aspect of the E-Curie Program is sending Santonian academics and teachers abroad to teach in foreign universities. The E-Curie program will provide for a stipend and living expenses for Santonian academics and teachers going abroad to teach; like the scholarship program, participants are also selected competitively. The Santonians in this program will be sent to countries that have expressed their desire to have or accept Santonian academics and lecturers.
Countries with agreements with Saintonge under the E-Curie Program will establish with Saintonge an Educational Foundation specific to their own country. This Educational Foundation will implement the E-Curie program in their own country. This Educational Foundation will also identify priorities for development in their countries and select the appropriate areas that their country is most in need of expertise. Since the Educational Foundations run the selection process, this is a way for the beneficiary country to maximise the returns from the program. These are the countries participating in the program.
The E-Curie Program (and its predecessor program) had greatly assisted in the development of countries throughout Eras and in scientific progress. Many prominent and notable people had benefited from the E-Curie Program and its predecessor.
