The Office for Science & Technology at the Embassy of France in the United States opens the call for application for FADEx 2017!
FADEx program encourages scientific exchanges between American and French Ph.D. students working in the same scientific field, and, by doing so, supports the creation of future French-American scientific collaborations.
In June 2017, the FADEx program will focus on cybersecurity, a vast and complex field of activity which aims to prevent malicious access to all objects, systems and digital infrastructures connected to a network. Cybersecurity covers the protection of physical systems, computer networks, software and data, as well as users’ awareness and understanding of rules and procedures related to the use of these systems.
