Call for projects – IDIL 2025 Incubation
OBJECTIVES OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS
This call for projects is open to all master's programs at the University of Montpellier that wish to embark on a process of "IDILization," particularly in the case of the development of the new training program that will open in 2027.
This call for projects is inspired by the DNA of the IDIL graduate program: offering courses in English (Part 1) through "In-Lab" research (Part 2) with an interdisciplinary approach (Part 3).
All teacher-researchers and researchers belonging to a structure within the scope of the I-SITE project of excellence may apply for one or more sections of this call for proposals.
SECTION 1: INTERNATIONALIZATION OF MASTER'S PROGRAMS
IN A FEW WORDS
• Boost the English language skills of the teaching staff
• Adapt teaching methods to English language instruction
• Translate teaching materials (REH)
• Improve the international visibility of the program
Who is this part of the call for proposals aimed at?
- Master's program coordinators
- Teachers
- Teacher-researchers
Objective: To increase the international appeal of Master's programs by offering courses at the University of Montpellier that are taught partially or entirely in English.
Actions:
- Funding for language training for teachers wishing to adapt their language of instruction:
- One-to-one remote training tailored to the schedules of faculty members and aimed at building language confidence.
Duration: 20 hours of training - UM training course on teaching strategies for improving teaching in a language you don't fully master (English levels B1-B2).
Duration: 5 days (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
- One-to-one remote training tailored to the schedules of faculty members and aimed at building language confidence.
- Recognition of time spent translating teaching materials into English using REH (1 hour of translated coursework = 1 hour of REH).
PART 2: IN-LAB IMMERSIONS
IN A FEW WORDS
- Create immersive one- or two-day workshops in research laboratories
- Teach a specific method/technique to students
Who is this part of the call for proposals aimed at?
- Master's program coordinators
- Female and male professors and researchers
- Researchers
- Female and male engineers
Objective: To enable students in a given discipline to benefit from "flash" immersions in research laboratories. These one- or two-day immersions will take place "in-lab" using the most relevant equipment for the discipline in question, and will take the form of workshops to introduce students to a concept, method, or technique.
Researchers and teacher-researchers interested in creating an In-Lab training program within their laboratory must first contact the head of a master's program (IDIL or non-IDIL) whose students will attend classes in the laboratory.
These In-Lab courses will be conducted in English and offered to students in the undergraduate program, as well as to students in the IDIL graduate program.
Actions:
- Coverage of operating costs related to In-Lab training for host laboratories (maximum €500).
- Remuneration for hours spent on creative work (20 hours REH) and coverage of teaching hours each year up to 12 hours REH per In-Lab.
SECTION 3: TOWARDS INTERDISCIPLINARITY
IN A FEW WORDS

- Embrace free and innovative teaching methods
- Increase the visibility of your discipline
Who is this part of the call for proposals aimed at?
- Teachers
- Female and male professors and researchers

Objective: Creation by teachers, teacher-researchers, or researchers of "Non-Core" teaching units. These TU entirely in English, are intended for an interdisciplinary student audience. Using innovative teaching methods, these TU will be included in the IDIL graduate program's catalog ofTU Non-CoreTU .
Actions:
- Personalized support from the IDIL team and its educational engineer for the design and creation of introductory courses in your discipline (TU ). This includes structuring content, integrating various methodologies, and creating appropriate teaching materials.
