What's “Junior Lab” ?

Team Construction of the “Junior Lab” Project (8 weeks)

Working in small groups, students address problems raised by non-profit organizations, associations, natural reserves, municipalities, professional organizations or private companies. With the help of tutors, students write a formal grant application describing (i) the interdisciplinary aspect of the problem-solving strategy they propose, (ii) the experimental protocols with associated costs, and/or (iii) the statistical/theoretical models that are performed.

Team implementation of the “Junior Lab” Project and Reporting (5 months)

Each student team will perform the experimental/modeling strategy proposed in their “Junior Lab” grant application. Free access to necessary experimental equipment and/or computing facilities are provided and, under tutors’ supervision, teams are autonomous enough to organize and execute their project. Then, each student team collectively writes a report on their “Junior Lab” project and defends it in front of a jury.
