Alumni's words

What I like about the Institut is that everything is more or less possible.

Livio Riboli-Sasco

My most vivid memory is of the group discussions (...). I realised how much our different educational backgrounds conditioned us to think about the world's problems (...) within a certain framework, and how much we all had to gain from sharing (...). I think that such exchanges were crucial in formulating my research questions

Martin Lenz

The Institut is a place that has transformed me. No other place has such a concentration of talent! (...) At the Learning Planet Institute, they give us an incredible amount of confidence (...) They really believe in our potential for action (...) My time at the Institute has really had a long-term impact on me.

Francesca Anselmi

The Learning Planet Institute breaks down the barriers to daring. There's an audacity, a latent madness in us, and it's coming out! It's a big RESET of the machine. They're trying to de-format us so that we can build ourselves in our own way.

Flora Vincent

The AIRE Master's Learning Sciences course answered the questions I asked myself throughout my training and my experiences as a private tutor.

Aristoteles Camillo

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

Mélusine Blondel

The Learning Planet Institute has done 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're really interested, you have everything you need to become who you want to be. (...) I'd love to go back there.

Edward Kwarteng

At Learning Planet Institute, there's an open-mindedness that I haven't found anywhere else. You're accepted as you are, and you can live life to the full.

Roua Mazouz

It's a very rich and multicultural environment (...) When they told us that we were going to be able to develop our projects and our dreams, I said to myself that there was really room to deploy our potential (...) The environment is very pleasant, the people are kind, encouraging and curious (...) For me, the Summer School was the beginning of a dream.

Yuxuan Li

The approach at the Learning Planet Institute is less traditional, more mixed, with greater interdisciplinarity. Teachers, researchers and students all work in the same place

Jonathan Grizou

What I love is the great freedom given to students. We always find support to bring our ideas to life, even the most innovative ones, with an open mind and without judgement (...) The LPI offers a real openness to international perspectives, interdisciplinarity and creativity. All thesis topics focus on ecological and social issues. I finally feel like I belong The LPI offers a truly international, interdisciplinary and creative outlook. All the thesis topics focus on ecological and social issues. I finally feel like I belong.

Manon Sala

When I was 20, I said that the only job I didn't want to do was be a researcher... We all change our minds! (...) You don't have to follow a straight path to become a researcher today
