Develop the ability to approach the complex challenges of Global Health and the SDGs in a systemic way.
Presentation
The Learning Planet Academy develops higher education programmes, including the EURIP Graduate School, which comprises the Master of AIRE programmes 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
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 Master of AIRE 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 Master of AIRE 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).
The 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 Université Paris Cité / Learning Planet Institute) brings together the Master of AIRE (Approaches to Interdisciplinary Research and Education) program and the FIRE (Frontières de l'Innovation en Recherche et Éducation) doctoral school.
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

international profiles
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...
Hira Shehzadi
Student at LPI (2025)
The LPI has given me the opportunity to meet extraordinary people who are open-minded, passionate and curious (...) I've learnt to have the right to dare, to fail and to learn from it in order to move forward (...) This humanist, intellectual and cultural crossroads is always benevolent, even with the most eccentric profiles. Thanks to LPI, I've been able to inject so many innovative projects into my professional life! (...) Everyone has taken their own path, followed their own inspiration, sometimes groping and experimenting, but always with the ability to get off the beaten track, to try things out, with an innovative vision. These influences will only grow, for the benefit of a better world with leaders like these.

Alumnus
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
Alumna
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
Aude Bernheim
Alumna
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
Alumna
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
Alumna
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
Alumna
The biggest lesson I learned at the Institute? To trust myself, to seize every opportunity to discuss, act and collaborate.
Raven Frias
Alumna
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
Alumnus
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
Alumnus
What I like about the Institut is that everything is more or less possible.
Livio Riboli-Sasco
Alumnus
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.
