Develop the ability to approach the complex challenges of Global Health and the SDGs in a systemic way.
Presentation
The Learning Planet Academy is developing higher education programmes, including the EURIP Graduate School, which brings together the AIRE Masters and the FIRE Doctoral School.
All our courses are based on research, project-based learning and a fully interdisciplinary approach, linking the humanities and social sciences, the physical sciences and engineering, and the life sciences.
Some key features of our programs
Graduate School EURIP
A strong commitment to training through and for research
Master AIRE
More than half the hours are devoted to research
FIRE doctoral school
More than 300 hours of training
Thanks to innovative teaching approaches - peer-to-peer learning, project-based teaching, research-led investigative approaches, tool prototyping, curriculum co-construction - students are encouraged to become fully involved in their academic and professional careers.
This pedagogical commitment strengthens their autonomy, creativity, collaborative practices and critical thinking skills.
The AIRE Master's program and the FIRE Doctoral School are closely linked, with joint activities to help students who wish to embark on a research career make the transition from Master's to Doctoral studies.
The AIRE Master's program enables students to explore complex concepts and translate them into prototypes, facilitating experimentation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and open health.
At all levels, our approach trains learners to take a systemic approach to the complex challenges associated with Global Health and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
FIRE doctoral school is accredited in a wide range of disciplines recognized by the European Research Council (ERC), including Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences and Humanities and Social Sciences.
This accreditation is a powerful lever for interdisciplinarity, enabling the FIRE doctoral program to promote and support atypical, cross-disciplinary research projects.
The Learning Planet Institute's Paris campus enriches this ecosystem with state-of-the-art infrastructures - videoconferencing systems, virtual reality devices, an advanced fab lab - enabling students to develop individual and collective projects rooted in real-life problem-solving.
Graduate School EURIP
Driving change towards a sustainable future
The Graduate School EURIP (University School of Interdisciplinary Research of Paris - - led by Université Paris Cité / Learning Planet Institute) brings together the AIRE Master's program (Approaches to Interdisciplinary Research and Education) and the FIRE doctoral school (Frontières de l'Innovation en Recherche et Éducation).
EURIP welcomes students and young researchers keen to tackle the major contemporary challenges of sustainability and global health, using innovative, interdisciplinary and unconventional approaches.
Since 2018, EURIP has been pursuing a central objective: to train a cohort of multi-skilled students, anchored in the academic and/or entrepreneurial worlds, capable of responding to the challenges of global Health as well as the major sustainable development objectives (SDGs) related to health and education, and become innovators and agents of change.
To achieve this goal, EURIP develops interdisciplinary research methodologies and resources to support students in collaborative, experiential and research-based learning.
The training aims to master and apply cutting-edge scientific methods, while integrating
Action-oriented research approaches - including design, citizen and participatory sciences and entrepreneurship
Interactions between science and society
Key figures
In 2025 - 2026
140 students (Master + Doctoral School)
45 Master's students
95 doctoral students
58 % of international profiles
Master AIRE
The AIRE Master's degree, supported by Learning Planet Institute and accredited by - led by Université Paris Cité, is aimed at students wishing to tackle the major global challenges of sustainability and planetary health through creative, interdisciplinary approaches.
A unique learning path
The AIRE Master goes beyond traditional academic boundaries by
Integrating perspectives from life sciences, physical sciences & engineering, and the humanities & social sciences
Developing an in-depth understanding of living and social systems in their environmental contexts
Highlighting the interdependence of these different fields and their crucial importance for sustainability and planetary health
This program is aimed at passionate people from a variety of backgrounds - life sciences, physical sciences & engineering, humanities & social sciences - who want to make an active contribution to the transition to a sustainable future.
This is a two-year program, taught in English, designed for high-caliber students with a resolutely international orientation.
The biggest lesson I learned at the Institute? To trust myself, to seize every opportunity to discuss, act and collaborate.

We used to be told, “Make your own path, you're on your own!” The Master's program, which is devoid of lectures, emphasizes critical and entrepreneurial thinking. (...) Generally speaking, there's a real generosity towards young people within the Master's program. It's not a case of “you young people don't know anything”, but quite the opposite!
Jean-Philippe Cointet
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 Institute allowed me to develop my personality, almost without realising it. The confidence that was instilled in me worked like silent magic. I was given opportunities, not just any opportunities: the best opportunities, to reveal what was inside me. I would like to thank all those who have accompanied me. What you do goes beyond the “simple” perimeter of teaching: you shape personalities, you reveal potential... Thank you so much for your trust...
It welcomes doctoral students who are passionate about contributing to global health and the environment. sustainable development objectives (SDGs), through innovative, interdisciplinary and atypical research projects that don't necessarily fit into “traditional” doctoral programs.
The school also offers a wide range of training courses covering scientific, technical, cross-disciplinary and behavioral dimensions, to prepare PhD students for their future careers, both in academia and beyond.
What I love is the great freedom given to students. There's always support to help us put our ideas into practice, even the most innovative ones, with an open heart and without judgement (...) 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
I said when I was 20 that the only job I didn't want to do was to be a researcher... We all change our minds! (...) You don't have to follow a straight path to become a researcher these days.
Aude Bernheim
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.
