The team was led by Ana-Marie included Beatrice Boyer, and Jean Christophe Lapouble. Ana-Marie said they had fruitful and far-reaching discussions with the Department of French, UCC to set the ball rolling for an effective relationship between the two institutions. Responding, the Vice-Chancellor stated that, he was particularly happy that a team from Bordeaux had come to seek international partnership with the University for both student and faculty exchange as well as research.
