Chateaubriand Science fellowship 2012-2013

Dear colleague,

I wish to inform you about the Chateaubriand Science fellowship 2012-2013, which may interest colleagues in your graduate school who have collaborations with French teams, or wish to initiate one.

The Chateaubriand scholarship program, organized by the Office of Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in Washington, is intended to finance the stay in France of American PhD students for a period ranging from 4 to 10 months, as part of a cooperation, and possibly a joint supervision ("cotutelle") leading to a dual PhD diploma.
Please find below, a message that you could forward to anyone who may be concerned.

I remain at your disposal for any further information.
Sincerely yours.
