In November, researchers, PhD students and Master students from the EURIP Graduate School participated in the symposium CARE in Montpellier organized by the Health & Care Lab at Learning Planet Institute and the research group TEP Care. This international symposium gathers scientifics from different disciplines (litterature, arts, medecine, education, learning, psychology), practitioners (teachers, trainers, nursing) and students to exchange on caring, education and ecology.
The intent of the symposium to engage both researchers and practitioners was well received by students as they triggered interesting discussions with people that usually don’t meet. The students could hear from professional sharing their real-life experiences.
“I’ve met wonderful people and they share their experiences which were really inspiring : teaching arts at the hospital, integrating meditation into medical education, learning to farm during a master’s degree” Marion, PhD student.
The first two days of the symposium were dedicated to student-led events as workshops and round table discussions. One of the PhD students, Anne-Lise led a round table discussion as a scientist and enjoyed that she was able to switch positions from expert to attendee. “This dynamic created an open environment to explore scientific topics with a fresh look”, she says. The Master got a chance to present their work during short presentations. “One highlight was seeing the projects produced by young people. They gave eye-opening and inspiring looks into their experiences during the pandemic.” Nitia, Master student.
The Graduate School EURIP supports student engagement and promotes their participation in scientific conferences. With EURIP support, 6 PhD and Masters students and 2 researchers were able to attend and present their results:
