French Embassy funds postdoc workshops
10 September 2012
The French Embassy has funded a series of MyAV范 collaborative postdoctoral research workshops on topics in science or technology.
It provided more than 鈧�110,000 funding for three annual workshops over five years. A call for workshop proposals - providing an opportunity for MyAV范 researchers to bid for funds to support collaborative workshops on research challenges in science and technology, between MyAV范 researchers and colleagues based at research institutions in France - will be announced in late September.
Dr Serge Plattard (pictured left), the French Embassy's Science & Technology Counsellor, and Prof Michael Worton (right), MyAV范 Vice-Provost (International), signed the Collaboration Agreement at a ceremony on 4 September 2012.
The signing was witnessed by the MyAV范 Pro-Provost (Europe & Central Asia), Prof Mike Wilson; the MyAV范 Director of Research Planning, Dr Andrew Clark; the MyAV范 Grand Challenges Principal Facilitator, Dr Ian Scott, who will run the workshop scheme; and other guests from the Office of the MyAV范 Vice-Provost (Research), MyAV范 Engineering Sciences and the MyAV范 European Institute.
