Séminaire franco-indien ENS-IISER

Le partenariat ENS-IISER est né en 2016 lors d’une visite exploratoire des représentants des quatre ENS au sein des Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research. Les IISER sont des instituts nationaux créés par le gouvernement indien avec l’objectif de développer en Inde l’enseignement en sciences fondamentales et la formation par la recherche. La coopération entre le réseau des ENS et des IISER a conduit à la mise en place d’un programme de stage et l’organisation de séminaires thématiques.

Ce premier séminaire en ligne sera consacré à l’échange d’expériences dans le domaine de l’éducation et des pratiques pédagogiques, et l’adaptation à l’enseignement en ligne, dans le contexte pandémique actuel.

Jour 1 - Échange de pratiques sur l'éducation et les approches pédagogiques

Jour 2 - Adaptation à l'enseignement en ligne
