Embassy of France- Office for Science and Technology - PhD students seminar in France March 2015

The mission of the Office for Science and Technology (OST) of the Embassy of France in the United States is happy to announce the opening of the call of candidates for the program FADEx on Monday, October 13, 2014.

The program FADEx consists in a 2-days seminar between PhD students enrolled in a US university and PhD students enrolled in a French university. The seminar whose focus is on “advanced architecture for solar cells” will take place at Le Bourget-du-Lac, France, in partnership with the National Institute for Solar Energy (Institut National de l’Énergie Solaire or INES) in March 2015. This meeting will provide the opportunity for US and French PhD students to share scientific results in a very informal setting. Besides, four (4) lectures of well-known French researchers in the field will be also proposed to the PhD students. Additionally, the seminar will be followed by the visit of state-of-the-art French research centers – the INES, the MINATEC innovation campus, the Photovoltaic Institute of Paris Region (Institut Photovoltaïque d'Île-de-France or IPVF) – as well as a visit of the European Synchrotron Research Facility (ESRF).

Furthermore, thanks to the generous support of the OST, eight (8) scholarships to attend this meeting will be awarded to 8 top US PhD students. The scholarships covers the round trip to France, the trips within France, the accommodation and most of the meals.

More details regarding this call for candidates as well as the application form can be found on the OST website: http://www.france-science.org/-French-American-Doctoral-Exchange,397-.html. A flyer is available at the end of the message.

Please feel free to forward this information to anyone, researcher and students, you believe might be interested by this event.
