CRI (Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity)

it is now called LPI (Learning Planet Institute)

France (Europe)

CRI is co-constructing and sharing new ways of learning, teaching, conducting research and mobilizing collective intelligence in the fields of life, learning and digital sciences, in order to address the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs).

CRI operates around 4 main areas :

  • Developing and hosting educational programs, from preschool to high school (Savanturiers – École de la Recherche), interdisciplinary Bachelor, Master, and PhD (EURIP Graduate School) as well as lifelong learning degree programs of the Université de Paris.
  • Conducting research within its INSERM-Université de Paris research Collaboratory Unit, advised and guided by a Scientific Advisory Board, composed of prestigious international scientific leaders.
  • Developing the LearningPlanet initiative in partnership with UNESCO, of which it also holds a Chair, and AFD to inspire and empower learners of all ages who wish to identify, develop and amplify the most effective ways to learn how to solve problems together.
  • Building a living campus where innovative makers can set up digital infrastructures for learning communities to help them to resolve global challenges.

CRI was founded in 2006 by François Taddei and Ariel Lindner with the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation as an essential and key supporting partner and Paris City Hall. It also benefits from the support of a wide range of foundations, corporate sponsors and institutions including the University of Paris, with which CRI co-founded the interdisciplinary action-based research challenge institute (“Institut des Défis”) to prototype a model of a Learning University enable of responding to the global challenges of our time.

The CRI produces Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and Massive Open Online Documentaries (MOOD) featuring innovative learning content in the domains of education, innovation and the life sciences. Our video production studio makes it possible for learners to immerse themselves in this interactive format that facilitates knowledge building. Participants can look forward to our upcoming documentary series “Learning Society.” The design, direction and multimedia production of these modules are as much based in innovation as their content discussing new approaches to education. Furthermore, given the expertise of our team in our new multimedia studio, we now have the capability to teach podcast production—yet another way the CRI offers a state-of-the-art, some say “alternative,” education.
