Scientific clubs

At the CRI, students create their own discussion clubs on subjects of their choice. Each club unites students and researchers on a voluntary basis interested in deepening their knowledge in a particular interface with Life Sciences through open dialogue across disciplines.

The clubs are open for all those who wish to participate providing they keep the spirit of the CRI: mutual sharing of ideas and thoughts, respecting all participants and ensuring the leading role of the students in managing and orienting the club.

The minimal requirements for a Club are: one student as 'club mediator', at least three motivated students, planification of at least 5 meetings before launching the club, documentation of their discussion made public through the club's wiki, with the possibility of having a restricted access area for internal discussions as well as for copyright protection where necessary.

Thanks to the generous support of the Liliane Bettencourt program, the CRI provides all necessary logistics, including invitation of guest speakers and the possibility of setting up students-organised conference by the club members.
