French Center of Excellence
Brown University has been selected by the French Embassy as a member of its network of Centers of Excellence housed at major research universities. These centers receive recurring financial support and yearly project-based support to fund a wide variety of activities and research. Their mission is to integrate, support, and promote research and teaching connected with France.
