The Centers of the Excellence are hosted by major research universities throughout the United States. The Centers’ mission statement consists in expanding and diversifying cooperation and partnerships between American and French higher-education institutions in supporting joint research programs, student mobility, and visiting faculty exchanges. In hosting seminars, lectures, roundtables, festivals, and debates on France and the Francophone World, the Centers contribute to the development of French and Francophone studies on American campuses, and beyond that, to all forms of scholarship related to the language, culture, history and politics of Francophone countries. Their approach is multidisciplinary and encompasses all social sciences and humanities.
