Cross-disciplinary skills
Universities offer a plethora of training courses and workshops on cross-disciplinary skills development. The Carrefour des savoirs strongly encourages students attached to the five research centers to discover what their university has put in place to support them in this area.
As a student, all you have to do is select the skill you’re interested in, or your university, and you’ll be directed to the various services offered by your university support service.
