France-Atlanta Events at GT Kick-Off

Posted by Admin On 10:11:00 AM
This fall, members of the Tech community will have an opportunity to learn more about French culture — without having to spring for a trip across the Atlantic. 

The Consulate General of France in Atlanta and Georgia Tech will jointly host “France-Atlanta 2012: Together Towards Innovation,” from 
Oct. 25 through Nov. 10, which will feature 15 events that highlight scientific, business, cultural and humanitarian efforts. This is the third consecutive year that the program is being offered.

“It is tremendously gratifying to see how France-Atlanta has stimulated dialogue, idea exchange and collaborative actions between France and the United States,” said Denis Barbet, the new Consul General of France. “I look forward to another successful event.”

The following events are open to the public and will be held on the Tech campus:
Georgia Tech-Lorraine/CNRS UMI International Network in Robotics and Optoelectronics for Automotive Applications
Oct. 26, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
