In July 2017, we learned that CoSyn was among nine Franco-American collaborative projects to receive an inaugural grant from the FACE Foundation's newly launched Thomas Jefferson Fund!&#160;&#160;The Thomas Jefferson Fund "is designed to support new collaborations and the most innovative projects between promising young researchers in France and the United States. [...] Inspired by the third American President’s commitment to strengthening French-American relations, the Thomas Jefferson Fund will bring young talented researchers together to initiate or strengthen their collaborative research activities, co-organize conferences, and author joint articles for high-level publications, in order to achieve game-changing discoveries."More information on the FACE Foundation and the Thomas Jefferson Fund can be found here.We are very grateful to the&#160;bilateral selection committee for its support!
