Since 1989, this university association is a vector for French-speaking institutions. As a partner to establishments for higher education and research who have chosen French as their teaching language, the AUF proposes several cooperation programmes, designed in particular to support research and education in French.Each year the AUF hands out more than 2 000 grants through its mobility programme. Its budget, which amounts to over EUR 40 million, comes essentially form the government of France and, to a lesser extent, from Canada-Quebec, Belgium’s French Community, Switzerland and Cameroon.
