Amazing, you found it! And indeed it hung on the wall in 2003, in another arrangement:

In the pdf you linked, the caption says that they are the work of young calligraphists Ramzi Merdjal (Algeria), ing Ling Zhou and Ruo Yo Li (China). They name the individual styles.

There are now a lot of chinese and asian students in the ENST Bretagne engineering school (where I got my diploma). See page 7 of this report:

http://www.enst-bretagne.fr/data/ecole/Presentation/Rapport_activite/Rapport_activite_2006.pdf

44% of the school students are foreigner, 22% of school students are from Asia. 494 foreign students are coming from 48 countries.

There is even a chinese calligraphy club :)

The school has always been internationnally oriented, one of the requirement of my diploma was to spend 3 monhtes abroad (otherwise no diploma).

22% of foreign students from Asia, if I read page 7 correctly. But surely a lot more (relative to other foreigners) than I'd expected -- the lower number of students from the EU is even more surprising.

Yep sorry typo on my side.

Opening to asia is a recent push from school management and government (there were far less asian students in my times 1994-1996).
