The objective of this new system is to promote and facilitate student mobility in France and in the member countries of the European Higher Education Area.

The Elysée Treaty signed on January 22, 1963 confirmed full reconciliation between France and Germany. The development of numerous Franco-German courses and curricula testify to the willingness of the two nations to actively contribute to ever closer cooperation between the two nations.

The Paul-Verlaine University in Metz was intent on taking advantage of its exceptional position in Europe, at the crossroads of the French, German, Belgian and Luxembourg borders - a space currently known as the Saar-Lor-Lux Area. In anticipation of the efforts to build a new Europe of academic studies, ISFATES / DFHI was created in 1978 as the first Franco-German institution for higher education.
