International research networks play an essential and strategic role in enabling researchers to share ideas, accelerate the production of results, and exploit complementary resources. In order to increase links and transatlantic exchanges of students and young researchers, The Office for Science and Technology deploys a range of mobility programs.
Each year, numerous student mobility events are set up between France and the United States thanks to numerous supporting programs. Among these, the Chateaubriand Fellowship Program, created in 1981, aims to initiate or strengthen collaborations, partnerships or joint research projects between French and American laboratory teams. The scholarship program benefits around forty winners in the United States each year.
The Transatlantic Research Partnership aims to encourage innovative research and new collaborations, with a view towards supporting projects involving young researchers (post-docs, doctoral students). Designed to foster forward-looking, collaborative research addressing pressing global challenges, the program supports projects linked to one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Ten doctoral students from American universities had the opportunity to participate in the FADEx program on the theme of cybersecurity. They were joined by eight doctoral students from French teams at CEA, CNRS, Inria, and Institut Mines-Télécom.
