CHATEAUBRIAND SCIENCE FELLOWSHIPS 2010-2011
US-French scientific collaborations: First steps in US and NIH-France collaborations
The Embassy of France in the United States (Office for Science and Technology-OST) launches the Chateaubriand Fellowship Program which is intended for French institutions in Higher Education and French research laboratories wishing to welcome a young American scientist preferably at the doctorate level, for a 3 to 10 month period.
For the 2010 call, the program’s orientation and methods have been revised. Grants aim to initiate or to reinforce collaborations, partnerships or joint projects (for example PUF, MIT-France, France-Chicago, France-Berkeley, France-Stanford, etc …) by encouraging an exchange at the doctoral level. The Office of Science and Technology wishes to privilege the candidacies of American doctorants (or doctorants registered in an American university) who engage in a joint thesis supervision, or seek in a joint degree ("cotutelle" PhD) with France.
The OST will provide a stipend (2,000 Euros a month) and cover the cost of travel and health insurance. No particular level of French is required; it is at the host institution’s discretion. Courses of French can be offered on site. All disciplines in Sciences, Technology and Health are eligible.
The application is available on the Chateaubriand website: http://france-science.org/chateaubriand3/chateaubriand_/fellow-intro.php
Application deadline: March 31st, 2010
This fellowship can begin on any date from September 1st, 2010, to March 1st, 2011.

PhD PROGRAM
The Paris School of Neuroscience (ENP) is a network of outstanding neuroscience laboratories in the Paris area, within major universities and research institutes
The ENP aims to facilitate graduate training of selected students. It covers all areas of neuroscience and associated methodologies, from basic to clinical and from molecular to cognitive sciences.
Pre -PhD and PhD programs are open to highly talented and motivated students who received their undergraduate training outside of France, irrespective of their original disciplines.
Pre -PhD : up to a year of rotations in participating laboratories. It can include a Master‘s degree
PhD : a three year program with possible one-year extension
Courses in neuroscience and related topics - International conferences and seminars - French and/or English language courses - Individual supervision by a tutor and a thesis committee - Annual retreat with faculty members and guest scientists
Assistance for settling in Paris (visa, housing, social security, medical and/or other insurance) - Stipends from the ENP and other sources (pre-PhD 1200 ⁄/month, PhD 1800 ⁄/month) - Scholarships for attendance to international meetings - Support for periods of training in other laboratories.
Two application deadlines per year 30 September & 30 March

INRIA-NIH FRENCH-AMERICAN BIOMEDICAL COMPUTATION SCIENCE & EDUCATION WORKSHOP ROCQUENCOURT, FRANCE, JUNE 3-4, 2009
This workshop aims at identifying common problems of interest for which teams are complementary.
Consequently, presentations will point out possible enhancement by American French collaborations.
Meeting goals
(1) scientific exchange -- updating each other on scientific progress since the 2007 meeting and discussing future plans for collaborative work; (2) training -- a program for possible exchange of junior scientists; (3) funding -- mechanisms that could be used to support joint French-US activities.
Here is the meeting report: Media: REPORT_Paris_Workshop_June_2009_GCavelier_FINAL.pdf
FRENCH-AMERICAN JOINT SCIENCE & EDUCATION WORKSHOP BORDEAUX, JULY 9TH - 10TH, 2008
