New York, July 6, 2022 – The French Embassy’s Cultural Services and Office for Science and Technology today announced the 57 recipients of its annual Chateaubriand Fellowship Program. Now in its 41st year, the program supports outstanding Ph.D. students from American universities who wish to conduct research in France for a period ranging from 4 to 9 months.
Representing 44 American universities, the fellows’ specialties are very diverse – from History, Comparative Literature, and Dance to Engineering, Agronomy, Biology, and more. Chateaubriand fellows are selected through a merit-based competition, in a collaborative process involving expert evaluators in both countries. The French institutions that will host the fellows are located in cities across France.
“The Chateaubriand Fellowship Program has supported research collaborations between the United States and France since 1981, and every year we are impressed by the new fellows’ projects and talent. We are proud that this program not only supports students and their important research, but also helps forge and strengthen lasting partnerships between universities and research teams on both sides of the Atlantic,” said Gaëtan Bruel, Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy in the US.
