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.
