Fran\u00e7ois Taddei, co-founder and president of the Learning Planet Institute, is an internationally renowned researcher.<\/p>\n
Convinced that the future of learning must be co-constructed with learners, he explores educational transitions and \u201cplanetizenship\u201d \u2014 learning to care for oneself, others and the planet.<\/p>\n
He advocates large-scale collaboration to co-build \u2014 with all stakeholders, from young people to UNESCO<\/a> and the United Nations University<\/a> (UNU) \u2014 a Learning Planet Academy<\/a>, powered by technology and grounded in interdisciplinary sciences.<\/p>\n His goal is not to train the best students in<\/em> in the world, but the best students for<\/em> for the world \u2014 by strengthening their agency and their ability to care for global commons and to become \u201cthe change they wish to see in the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Passionate about youth education, Fran\u00e7ois Taddei co-founded the Centre de Recherches Interdisciplinaires (CRI) in Paris in 2006. Its mission was to train the next generation of scientists working at the interface of life sciences, learning sciences and digital technologies. In 2021, CRI became the Learning Planet Institute.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNESCO Chair in \"Learning Sciences\u201c<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After graduating in general sciences (specialising in physics and biology) from \u00c9cole Polytechnique<\/a>, Fran\u00e7ois Taddei became a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Agriculture<\/a> before completing a PhD in genetics under Miroslav Radman<\/a> focusing on the molecular causes and evolutionary consequences of mutation rate changes.<\/p>\n Following a postdoctoral fellowship with John Maynard Smith<\/a>, where he modelled mutation rate evolution, his research team studied the evolution and molecular mechanisms of cooperation, genetic changes, gene expression errors, pathogenicity, antibiotic resistance and ageing in E. coli. He was the first to study ageing in this model organism, revealing these processes using microfluidics and systems biology approaches. His work has led to numerous publications in leading scientific journals and several awards.
