Call for projects - Incubation IDIL 2025

OBJECTIVES OF THE CALL FOR PROJECTS

This call for projects is aimed at all master's degree courses at the University of Montpellier that wish to embark on a process of "idilization", particularly in the case of the construction of the new training offer due to open in 2027.

This AAP is inspired by the DNA of the IDIL graduate program: offering training in English (Component no. 1) through "In-Lab" research (Component no. 2) with an opening towards interdisciplinarity (Component no. 3).

All teacher-researchers and researchers belonging to a structure within the scope of the I-SITE excellence project can apply for one or more components of this AAP.

Who is this part of the call for projects aimed at?

•  Masters course managers

•  Researchers
•  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 ", with the most relevant equipment for the discipline concerned, and will take the form of workshops to introduce students to a concept, method or technique.

Researchers and teacher-researchers interested in setting up an In-Lab' training program in their laboratory must first contact the head of a master's program (IDIL or non-IDIL), whose students will follow the courses in the laboratory.

These In-Lab courses must be conducted in English, and will be offered not only to students in the Laureate program, but also to students in the IDIL graduate program.

Actions :

• Coverage of In-Lab training-related operating costs for host laboratories (maximum €500).

Objective: Creation by teachers, lecturers or researchers of "Non-Core" teaching units. These TU courses, taught entirely in English, are designed for interdisciplinary students. Using innovative teaching methods, these TU Non-Core courses will be included in theTU catalog of interdisciplinary Non-Core courses in the IDIL graduate program.

Actions :

• Personalized support from the IDIL team and its educational engineer for the design and creation of introductory courses in your discipline (TU Non-Core). This includes structuring content, integrating various methodologies and creating appropriate teaching materials.
