The 'Conseil International d'Études Francophones' (CIÉF), or 'Council of International Francophone Studies,' is a non-profit association whose aim is to encourage interdisciplinary studies, research, and publications concerning all countries and regions of French expression. Anchored in North America, the CIÉF is designed for those who belong to French-speaking communities as well as those who are interested in the Francophone world.\\Membership \CIÉF members are primarily scholars and teachers, but also writers and artists from the United States and all Francophone countries and regions in the world. \\Annual Convention \Each year the CIÉF organizes a conference in a Francophone region of the world, bringing together 300 to 600 participants. In addition to approximately one hundred interdisciplinary panels, the convention welcomes many Francophone writers and organizes literary readings, meetings, and round tables with writers and artists. The convention also offers receptions sponsored by diplomatic delegations, local universities, and municipalities.\\Scholarly Journal\Twice a year the CIÉF publishes a refereed journal, Nouvelles Études Francophones (NEF), which is distributed to current CIÉF members as well as to libraries and academic associations throughout the world.\\Award\At each convention the CIÉF bestows the Conseil International d'Études Francophones award to one person, sometimes two people, for their exceptional contribution to the development of Francophone studies in the world.\\Young Scholar Award \In order to encourage and help young scholars pursue their research in Francophone studies, an award is given for the best doctoral student paper at each convention.\\Discussion List\In October 2003, the CIÉF created an electronic discussion list for the use of the members of our association. \\Electronic Newsletter\Twice a month, the CIÉF sends out an electronic newsletter to all members through its distribution list.
