Edito - October 2017

In this edition, the focus on the  associate team « STATWEB »  closes the cycle of presentations of the Inria-California  joint research projects that were featured in the 2011-2014 activity report of  Inria@SiliconValley. Starting next month, we will begin introducing the joint projects that have been created since 2015, therefore showing the dynamics and breadth of the Inria@SiliconValley collaborations.
This month, we are much happy to feature the success of our colleagues: Xavier Pennec from the GEOMSTAT associate team who got elected fellow of the MICCAI scientific society, and Margaret Koehler from Stanford University, who got awarded a Chateaubriand fellowship to work with the Inria team DEFROST in Lille.
Also we would like to advertise funding opportunities that are currently open to support Inria-California research collaborations. Consider applying for: the France-Stanford Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, the France-Berkeley Fund, and the different fellowship programs (Fulbright, Luis W. Alvez, and Chateaubriand) !

In addition to promoting and supporting collaborations focused on scientific research, Inria@SiliconValley also supports initiatives toward innovation. We are glad to feature such an initiative in our Newsletter: Jack Fuchs, lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Stanford University was invited to give a 2-day seminar at Inria. We talked with Jack and Inria’s Deputy CEO for Transfer and Industrial Partnerships, Eric Horlait, to know more about this experience!
