💬 Two cross-disciplinary discussions - Volunteer Master's students took the floor to discuss two major topics, before a panel of international researchers from the MAK'IT Montpellier Institute and the IDIL Graduate Program:
1️⃣ Endangered planet, threatened biodiversity: what solutions? - An analysis inspired by the latest IPBES report on transformative change.
2️⃣ What role for researchers in transitions? - A reflection on ethical responsibility and societal commitment in scientific research.
Our warmest thanks go to our jury:Emanuel A. Fronhofer, Cherine Bechara, Anand Madhur and Mourad Latati, and to our discussion leaders Camille Guibal and Laura Michel!
A moment of conviviality and exchange
The event also featured a convivial buffet, encouraging informal exchanges between participants 🎉
