Our labs have talent: "Fresque du climat" at INP
As part of her duties as the laboratory's Sustainable Development Officer, Louise GREETHAM (INP) organized a Climate Fresco last February. But what is it?
It's a scientific game, accessible and impactful.
During this collective intelligence workshop, participants reconstruct the cause-and-effect links of climate change, and then explore the actions they can take in their personal and professional lives. In short, it's about understanding climate change (the science) and finding solutions and actions to change all that.
It raised a lot of questions about the way we consume, and led us to question our behavior face to climate change.
Submit your internship offer
Researchers, you can continue to propose internships for master’s students from AMU and partner universities. International students can apply to NeuroSchool incoming mobility grants.

Indeed, this yong team leader at the Fresnel Institute, in one of the NeuroMarseille associated team "Mosaïque", has been awarded the prestigious ERC starting grant for his ALPINE project "All-optical photoacoustic imaging for neurobiology ".
More informationPhD students and postdocs: what's your perception of scientific research?
As part of the INS and NeuroMarseille-supported UNITAE (What Neurosciences in the Anthropocene Era) project, Marie Le Duff is conducting a study on young neuroscientists' perception of scientific research.
She's looking for twenty French-speaking participants (PhD students, postdocs) to carry out individual interviews lasting around 1 hour, conducted preferably by videoconference, but possibly face-to-face. Data will be anonymized.
