FFCSA’s Club

Since 2002, a hundred Chinese post-doctoral students have been selected by a French jury from the best universities in China for internships in laboratories of excellence in France. Back in China, they have benefited from a favourable evolution of career and maintain, for many of them, relations with the host laboratories.

Since 2005 the FFCSA has created an alumni Club, in order to gather the post-doctorants fellows and promote exchanges, with 3 Chinese co-presidents and one French.
