Driving the change towards a sustainable future

The Paris University School of Interdisciplinary Research (EURIP, École Universitaire de Recherche Interdisciplinaire de Paris) Graduate School (Université Paris Cité / Learning Planet Institute) links basic and applied research for 21st century transitions in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

It brings together the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Teaching (AIRE) Master’s degree and the Frontiers of Innovation in Research and Education (FIRE) Doctoral School. 

These interdisciplinary courses – based on collaborative learning and pedagogical innovation, as well as on scientific research methods – enable students to acquire practical knowledge and cross-cutting skills (communication, ethics, critical thinking, creativity, entrepreneurship). These are essential in the training of excellent multi-skilled students and researchers, so that they become capable of meeting the SDG.

Master AIRE - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Teaching

Hosted at the Learning Planet Institute, the Université Paris Cité AIRE Master’s Degree – two-year programme – is looking for students willing to access a training grounded in scientific research, in order to accelerate the transitions of the 21st-century related to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our interdisciplinary programme focuses on student-driven research-led projects combining deep theory and practice, collective design, international networking and exploring the unknown.

This innovative learning experience provides a strong emphasis on empowering students to become independent thinkers and agents of change, better equipped to address the complex and rapidly changing challenges we face at individual, collective and planetary levels.

Students will develop the capacities necessary to engage with these challenges such as agency, resilience and systems-thinking. They will acquire the tools to navigate uncharted waters through courses combining approaches to health sciences, exact and natural sciences, earth sciences, social sciences and the humanities (e.g. science of sustainability, data science and statistics, information science, project management, etc.)

We value a solid background (academic achievements and projects) in any discipline (e.g. with interests in  life sciences, learning sciences, and/or digital sciences) together with an analytical and creative mindset.

All further experiences (volunteering, business, entrepreneurial, artistic, etc.) are greatly appreciated and valued.

"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"

FIRE Doctoral School - Frontiers of Innovation in Research and Education

FIRE is an international and interdisciplinary doctoral programme, accredited by Université Paris Cité (UPC), co-accredited by Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) and hosted on the Learning Planet Institute campus.

It welcomes doctoral students wishing to contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, by exploring new disciplinary interfaces and using innovative methodologies.

The FIRE doctoral school welcomes research projects that cannot find a place in the usual laboratory doctoral school because of their unconventional nature.

"The Institute is a place that has transformed me. There is no place with such a concentration of talent! (...) I had an incredible community of colleagues. We learned a lot from each other (...) At the Learning Planet Institute, they give us an incredible space of trust (...) They really believe in our potential to act (...) My time at the Institute has really had a long term impact on me"
