PIA – SFRI
An investment in the future for a historic university
The Interdisciplinary Project – In Lab’ is the graduate program at the University of Montpellier. Funded by the Investment for the Future Program 3, it responds to the call for projects entitled “Structuring Training through Research in Initiatives of Excellence” (SFRI).
The aim of the project is to transform the university's teaching methods by offering students training through research for research, immersing them in laboratories from the first year of their master's degree onwards.
The program will be implemented gradually, starting with 8 inaugural Master's programs and 1 engineering track from the beginning of the 2022 academic year. Based on this initial experience, the plan is to increase the number of IDIL courses and integrate them into the new Montpellier University’s training offer. The aim is to gradually apply this model to 18 courses in 2024, then 30 Master's courses in 2029.
