ORION: Opting for Research during educatION
ORION is one of two Lorraine-led projects accepted under the Structuring Training through Research (SFRI) call for proposals of the 2020 Investments for the Future Programme (PIA), the aim being to educate and train students in research. We hope to involve students from diverse backgrounds, subjects and nationalities to prepare them to become future leaders, through an approach that allows them to advance from an introduction to research through to its application in practice.
