Exploring tracks for transatlantic cooperation on intelligent mobility

The Office for Science and Technology (OST) at the Embassy of France in the United States is a network of 22 team members at the Embassy in Washington, D.C. and in 6 other consulates in the US including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. It includes a counselor, 8 attachés for science and technology, 9 young scientists recruited as “international volunteers”, and 4 support staff. All these members bring different scientific expertise and sets of skills. This geographical and topical organization allows the OST to cover most of the scientific fields ranging from emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G and quantum computing, biotechnology, and medical research to research related to agriculture, environment, and topics with a high societal impact at the global level such as climate change or the erosion of biodiversity.

France Science

Join us for an exciting online event "Exploring tracks for transatlantic cooperation on intelligent mobility" on August, 30th !

The aim of the conference is to be a stepstone for potential cooperation between French Institutions working on connected and automated vehicles as well as more broadly on smart mobility questions and the Maryland Transportation Institute. The short conferences given by US and French researchers on parallel topics are intended to give an insight on the research done on both side and, hopefully, will help settle the most promising topics for a physical workshop to be hels in the months to come. The american speakers will be hosted at the French Embassy in DC but the conference is virtual. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86808239133
