Primary tabs

The Office for Science and Technology (OST) of the Embassy of France in the United States is organizing a 2-day seminar for US and French Ph.D. students on Nanoparticles for Medicine in France. This seminar is part of the FADEx (French-American Doctoral Exchange) program. The objective of the seminar is to enhance scientific exchanges between young researchers, increase mutual awareness of laboratories of excellence in this field and to possibly trigger collaborations between US and French laboratories through the Ph.D. students.

In addition, during the seminar that will take place at Clinatec in Grenoble, the OST will propose four (4) lectures of well-known French researchers expert in the field and a 3-day visit of laboratories and companies working on nanoparticles for medicine such as CEA Leti, Institut Albert Bonniot, MINATEC, Institut Galien Paris Sud or Nanobiotix. 

Furthermore, thanks to the generous support of the OST, ten (10) scholarships to attend this meeting will be granted to Ph.D. students enrolled in a US university. The scholarships will be awarded via a call to candidacy and the laureates will be chosen on the basis of the excellence of their file.

The call for candidates will be open on Monday, October 5th 2015 and will end on Monday, November 2nd 2015. More details regarding the call as well as the application form can be found on the OST website: http://www.france-science.org/-FADEx-.html

----------

The FADEx (French-American Doctoral Exchange) program is an annual event that was created in 2014 by the Office for Science and Technology (OST) of the Embassy of France in the USA. This program aims to encourage scientific exchanges between American and French Ph.D. candidates studying a similar scientific field and, in so doing, favor the creation of future French-US scientific collaborations. This program also provides the opportunity to the American students to understand and appreciate the French system of research.
