Launch of Interdisciplinary DAY
A Major First for the Graduate Program
Last Saturday, February 24, marked thefirst edition of its official day dedicated to interdisciplinarity: Interdisciplinary Day!
We were honored to have the President of the University of Montpellier, Mr. Philippe Augé, attend the opening of the event. The event was designed to bring together a large portion of the IDIL community for a single day in order to strengthen the interdisciplinary ties among our students.
The event program was divided into three main parts:
- A TedX-style presentation of the two complementary dissertations by our IDIL doctoral students and their dissertation co-advisors
- Presentation of the 5 multidisciplinary projects by our M2 students
- Two interdisciplinary discussions among our students as part of the IDIL House Cup, under the supervision of international researchers from the Mak’it Institute (list the researchers). The two discussion topics? “AI and Its Impacts on Various Disciplines” | “Is the IPCC an Effective Model of Interdisciplinarity?”
And of course, in the middle of this busy day, there was a fun buffet with wooden games that brought the participants together for a friendly get-together!
We would like to sincerely thank the students for their significant contributions to the event, our project leaders Agnès-Fichard Carroll and Mathieu Sicard, as well as the logistics teams who made this event possible.
We will soon be posting dedicated articles highlighting our students who volunteered to participate in our interdisciplinary discussions and who had the unique experience of presenting on stage before a panel of renowned international researchers. Be sure to check them out!
A special thank you to our student Marine Jannin, who volunteered to be the event photographer! Instagram: @photographie_mari
