Teaching Sustainable Environment

The teaching activities of the Sustainable Environment team are closely linked to its research activities and its platforms and laboratories. They are carried out by 4 teacher-researchers (Blanche Collin, Catherine Keller, Nicolas Roche and Danielle Slomberg)1 ATER and several engineers and researchers in the team who develop innovative teaching approaches.

The team is involved in all levels of education:

Courses cover environmental issues, biogeochemical cycles, biogeochemistry of contaminants, soil science, remediation of polluted sites and soils, environmental nanotechnologies, water chemistry, the circular economy, process engineering, water treatment methods, ecotoxicity and methods for analysing and characterising solutions and environmental matrices (soil, plants, waste). 

Teaching takes the form of lectures as well as practical work in the field, in our laboratories and on visits to industrial sites. 

The team welcomes trainees of all levels (BUT, Licence, Master M1 & M2, Engineering Schools, ...) on a variety of subjects (see some examples of internship opportunities). 

Some key actions

Innovative pedagogy

The introduction of innovative teaching approaches such as climate mural, the floor muralthe Jigsaw method, interactive tools such as Wooclaps, the visits to industrial sites or visits of the laboratory.

Practical work in our laboratories

Students (Master's level) are trained on CEREGE's state-of-the-art equipment (LA-ICP-MS platform, MATRIX platform, ENVITOP platform, Colloid Characterisation Laboratory). 

Scientific mediation

The desire to disseminate our scientific knowledge to everyone by running workshops at Arbois Science Village to mark the Fête de la Science, the creation of the NAMAC game to familiarise themselves with size scales, the creation of a series of videos "Did you know about nanoparticles?in schools and high schools, and hosting events for Trainees from middle schools and high schools and supervision of tutored projects ((BCPST prep school).    

Teaching "elsewhere".
