About
The University of Florida’s France-Florida Research Institute (FFRI), building on the strengths of UF’s program in French and Francophone studies in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, and its long-standing excellence in the sciences, serves as an umbrella organization to centralize and promote the numerous existing partnerships between the University of Florida and French and Francophone research centers and academic institutions. It also works to create new linkages in the spirit of interdisciplinarity and internationalization that characterizes the University of Florida.
The FFRI sponsors lecture series, visiting professorships, film series, theater workshops, exhibits, and symposia as well as outreach activities for the teachers of French in Alachua County.
Proposals for activities related to the mission of the FFRI should be submitted to the Director, Dr. Alioune Sow, Associate Professor of French and African Studies
In June 2002, the French Embassy awarded the designation of centre pluridisciplinaire to the France-Florida Research Institute at the University of Florida. UF, with its 17 colleges and schools and more than 100 on-campus research centers, bureaus and institutes, was chosen for its excellence in French Studies across the board. The FFRI joins seventeen other officially recognized centres in the United States (Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Louisiana State University, New York University, Northwestern, Princeton, UCLA, Chicago, Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Pennsylvania, Texas-Austin, Wisconsin-Madison, Stanford, and Yale).
