The events are being offered through a partnership between Georgia Tech and the Consulate General of France and highlight French and American collaborations in 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.”
