France-Atlanta 2011 Events

Posted by Admin On 1:56:00 PM
Georgia Tech, in partnership with the Consulate General of France, will again present “France-Atlanta 2011 - Together Toward Innovation.” The 2011 series, planned for October 26 through November 12, covers France and United States collaborations in the domains of science, economics, culture and humanitarian efforts.

“Both France and Atlanta share a common strong commitment to innovation as an engine for economic growth,” said Pascal Le Deunff, Consul General of France in Atlanta.  “Last year, “France-Atlanta 2010” brought together almost 3,500 participants and breathed new life into the relationship between France and the Southeastern United States.”

According to Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson, France-Atlanta provides a unique opportunity for not just students, but anyone interested in exploring the great country of France through cultural and humanitarian logistics, business workshops and scientific symposiums.

“Many of the challenges we face today are global in nature, impacting all of humanity—things like energy, sustainability, water utilization and resources, humanitarian logistics and healthcare,” said Peterson. “There is no end to the possibilities before us when we work together for solutions.”
