Driving the change towards a sustainable future

The EURIP Graduate School (École Universitaire de Recherche Interdisciplinaire de Paris) (Université Paris Cité / Learning Planet Institute) brings together the Master of AIRE (Approaches to Interdisciplinary Research and Education) and the FIRE Doctoral School (Frontières de l’Innovation en Recherche et Éducation). EURIP welcomes postgraduate students and early career researchers who aim to address global challenges related to sustainability and Planetary Health through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches.

Since 2018, EURIP’s main objective has been to train a cohort of highly versatile students, anchored in the academic and/or entrepreneurial worlds, to tackle challenges related to Planetary Health and the United Nations’ major Health and Education Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and serve as innovators and change-makers.

To achieve this, EURIP develops interdisciplinary research methodologies and resources to mentor students through collaborative, hands-on, research-based learning.

The training focuses on mastering and applying state-of-the-art scientific research methods while also embracing: (i) action-based research approaches, including design, citizen and participatory sciences, and entrepreneurship; and (ii) interactions between science and society.

"Strong cohesion, often lively discussions, very good atmosphere, very positive (...) Lots of energy, lots of interest in research and novelty. The Master's opens new doors for students. They are very receptive to the freedom that is offered to them (...) Our aim is to show that science is a very moving world, with sometimes backtracking, questions that remain open, the unexpected, humans confronting the unknown. It is very lively!"

"The Learning Planet Institute is a place where you can think outside the box, indulge your curiosity, and take risks. It is an ideal environment for the curious."

"We were told: "make your own course, you'll manage! The Master's degree, without lectures, emphasises critical thinking and entrepreneurship. We could choose any lab, any article to work on. The scientific articles were scrutinised in this way: the students deconstructed the protocol to find possible flaws and remedy them (...) Generally speaking, the Master's programme centers on input from students. Here, there’s no feeling of "you young people don't know anything." Really, it’s quite the opposite! Students take a personal, vested interest in their education experience in the strongest sense of the word."

"And then I thought: this place looks like me. I watched a lot of videos. It was so inspiring! At the Learning Planet Institute, there are no barriers. You learn by doing and are given all the confidence you need to try new things. It's truly a golden opportunity. I have found a new family here. Even though I'm a student, I'm listened to, I'm heard, I can develop my projects the way I want to. There is so much interest in working together and sharing our ideas! I am really grateful to be here"

"The biggest lesson I learned at the Institute? To trust myself, to take every opportunity to discuss, act and collaborate"

This Master's degree opened up a whole host of perspectives for me. First of all, what interdisciplinarity really means. And then I was able to rub shoulders with people from all over the world, with completely different backgrounds, and I was enriched by these encounters and these projects"

"My most vivid memory is of the group discussions with the other students. I realised how our different backgrounds conditioned us to think about the problems of the world around us within a certain framework, and how much we all gained from sharing and mixing our respective frameworks. I think such exchanges were crucial in formulating my research questions"

"The Learning Planet Institute breaks down barriers to taking bold action. There's an audacity, a latent madness in us, and here it can come out! It's like hitting a big RESET button. The Learning Planet Institute helps us deconstruct our ways of thinking so we can build ourselves back up in our own way."

"Everyone was lovely, the group was very close. There were many international students. I felt at home! (...) We were all starting from scratch. We were moving forward together (...) The Learning Planet Institute did a lot for me. I owe the success of my career to the Institute. I didn't know how to do research. I was able to explore my own path (...) If you are really interested, you have everything you need to become who you want to be. I didn't know anything like that. The Learning Planet Institute is full of independent thinkers and good minds. I would love to go back"

"There were about fifteen different nationalities (...) The link between games and learning was very much explored, it was interesting (...) We were shown how important it is to know where you are going (...) During my internship, we created a MOOC on critical thinking, data science, digital publishing... The subjects were very varied. I learned a lot of different things"
