Students can create clubs on a wide range of topics of their choice as extracurricular activities and projects, which are not imposed by anyone but themselves. However clubs activities must be linked to the Learning Planet Institute purpose and activity on learning, digital, life science and Research.

Clubs can mix all communities: students (B, M, D, DUs, …), researchers, teachers or other Learning Planet Institute staff members, external people can be accepted as members.

Why Learning Planet Institute supports students clubs?

• Clubs participate in the Learning Planet Institute’s influence on its current fields of exploration;
• Students develop competencies and soft-skills within the club members and the Learning Planet Institute community;
• Clubs reinforce the bonding between the Learning Planet Institute community (collaboration with the research team, other Learning Planet Institute department or inter-clubs projects);
