      The French-Argentine Centre for Advanced Studies of the University of Buenos Aires (CFAAE-UBA for its acronym in Spanish) is the result of an agreement signed on July 16th  1996, between the Embassy of France and the University of Buenos Aires.
      The CFAAE contributes to the academic and scientific cooperation between both countries through an extended standing agreement, which proposes seminars that meet the requirements of university academic studies at UBA, so that students who attend these seminars obtain valid credits for doctorates and masters. Besides, the CFAAE organizes conferences open to the public, provides support to students, offers a specialized library - open to the university community - and is a meeting place for researchers whose studies are related to France.
