The Graduate School EURIP offers students a space that invites them to deploy their projects and focus on their social impact while developing their scientific training. It is the Students project Hub - Challenge Hub.
By project, the pedagogy of the CRI intends to capture different facets:
Goal and vision: The general goal of the student, includes the master's degree in a vision of his medium-term future (define his project)
Community, trust and collaboration: A cooperative situation that gives autonomy and responsibility, and allows for the expression of daring and creativity in order to develop the power to act personally and collectively (project spirit)
Prototyping, learning by doing and agility: The experience of making and learning by doing, training in the representation of a concept in a physical model, and the culture of prototyping, to test a process, simplify a technique, replicate it and share it (think by doing it)
Curiosity and collective intelligence: A commitment of students, individual and collective, in the exploration and research dynamic of the CRI and its ecosystem, with a perspective of social and scientific innovation (response to the challenges SDG, Learning Planet, prospective, power to act)
Practice and skills: A range of practical activities/exercises and attitudes which translates a dynamic of engagement and allows the student to catalyze their knowledge and know-how into achievement (project pedagogy)
The project is mentioned in the plan of studies as an alternative to an internship.
Students interested in the Student project Hub must apply before the official start of the courses of the corresponding semester. If their project is accepted in the Hub, they will sign a specific learning agreement fixing the objectives of the semester, deadlines and deliverables.
During the first semester of the academic year:
Students registered in M2 who already did their M1 at CRI.
Selected students registered in M1 who were admitted on the principle that their learning path doesn't belong exclusively to any of the three tracks (Life/Learning/Digital Sciences)
During the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021, 10 applications were submitted and 7 projects were accepted.
During the second semester of the academic year:
