Mission

The aim of the Center is to develop interdisciplinary conversations and build long-term networks of cooperation between Stanford and France. It is part of the Division of International Comparative and Area Studies (ICA) in the School of Humanities and Sciences.

• Conferences exploring significant issues for our two societies, especially those where there are divergent French and American approaches to these issues.
• Seed funding for collaborative projects between Stanford and French researchers, especially those that encourage multidisciplinary approaches in research, hold promise for longer-term cooperation, and benefit younger researchers.
• Internships for Stanford students in companies and research laboratories in France.
• Visits and exchanges of faculty, researchers, and students.
