The French-American Doctoral Exchange (FADEx) program encourages scientific exchanges between American and French Ph.D. students working in the same scientific field through a week-long program organized in France. By doing so, it supports the creation of future French-American scientific collaborations.<\/p>\n
Each FADEx edition focuses on a different scientific topic. The 2018 edition will be organized on artificial intelligence, the ability for a machine to make complex reasoning comparable to human reasoning. This vast and complex field encompasses issues as diverse as image recognition, robot motion planning, car driving or language translation.<\/p>\n
Topics of interest<\/strong><\/p>\n We will focus on the following topics:<\/p>\n This high-level program on artificial intelligence is open to Ph.D. students affiliated with a French or American university. Selected Ph.D. students will get the chance to:<\/p>\n Three seminars in a week<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2018 FADEx edition on Artificial Intelligence will take place in France from June 24 to 30, 2018. Participants will visit different labs and research institutes recognized for their expertise on artificial intelligence in three different cities:<\/p>\n Selected candidates will have the opportunity to visit the labs and meet with their teams, to attend keynote talks by senior researchers, to present their own research and to explore potential avenues for collaboration.<\/p>\n The FADEx grant covers the round trip ticket to France, travel between the three cities, accomodations and most meals for American laureates. It covers travel between the three cities, accomodations and most meals for French laureates.<\/p>\n To apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n The jury gathers experts from the Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the United States and from the partnering research institutes. The jury will base its decision on the scientific excellence of the candidates, their motivation and the maturity of their project. Please note that a good cover letter should present your background and should help the jury assess your motivation to join the program.<\/p>\n Ten laureates enrolled in an American university and ten laureates enrolled in a French university will be selected. U.S. citizenship is not required for American applicants.<\/p>\n Once selected, laureates will have to provide additional information such as, but not limited to:<\/p>\n Key dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n Herv\u00e9 Martin<\/strong>, Attach\u00e9 for Science and Technology:\u00a0attache-ntics@ambascience-usa.org<\/a>\n
