The Junior Research Lab (JRL) is a teaching unit dedicated to research learning. It is a gateway between lectures and research, an opportunity for students to exchange with students from other disciplines, other countries and to prepare a longer term personal research project. Small groups of 3-4 international students will be assembled on the basis of their complementary skills and they will have to identify a scientific question on which they will focus (plant biology, genetics and evolution, soil and water science, numeric agriculture for the 2019 session), learn by reading up-to-date scientific literature, design experiments, acquire and analyze data and write a scientific paper. Students will be be able to assemble and read critically a corpus of scientific papers, develop their own curiosity and creativity while being challenged by the  supervising team for their scientific rigor and consistency. And for the 2020 edition, the JRL is non-presential.
