What is the online course about?
You will be initiated to the Scientific Approach and Critical Thinking in a very interesting and innovative way.
The self-study course is an opportunity to discover scientific method, research professions and to deepen your capacity to think critically in all situations. The course is composed of 8 interactive and exciting online sections, with contributions from teachers and researchers from the European alliance. Sections last approximately 3 hours each so they are short and easy to manage and are open (in an asynchronous mode) for a 10-week period. This course is open to all students, in an open access self-study approach.
This online course focuses on 8 different themes that are the following:
1 - Identification of a scientific question
2 - Bibliographic research and tools
3 - Selection of instruments to resolve a scientific question
4 - Basis of scientific integrity
5 - Presentation of the research professions and the means of accessing them in each EDUC universitiy
6 - Elements of European research projects

What is the Internship Week?
Bachelor students who successfully complete the course will be able to apply for a 1-week internship during the academic year 2023/2024. The internships will be accessible to undergraduate students only. A great opportunity to have an observation period within a research laboratory! Selected bachelor students will have the chance to interact with researchers and PhD students. The objective is to raise awareness on research issues and to develop a deeper understanding of job opportunities in research.
You will find out how a research laboratory works and will test the scientific hypothesis worked on in the virtual class. The internship can be done in a research laboratory at your home university or at one of the EDUC universities in Europe (mobility grants available). A Presentation Day will be organised for the participating students to present their experiences.
For the Internships, a separate communication will be sent to students who complete the online course and are interested in this additional opportunity.
