Presentation of the project

AMPIRIC (Aix-Marseille - Pôle d'Innovation, de Recherche, d'Enseignement pour l'Education) is led by Aix-Marseille University (AMU) in partnership with the Aix-Marseille Academy, Avignon University (AU) and the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (UNS). Local authorities, associations and companies are associated and the National Association for Research and Technology (ANRT) is involved in an exclusive partnership to network the cluster with EdTech companies.

Objectives

AMPIRIC aims to improve the performance of pupils, particularly those with difficulties, in their learning of fundamental knowledge throughout their school career by developing, experimenting and disseminating innovative teaching approaches based on digital technologies. The project aims to strengthen networking between the field, training and research. All of the cluster's actions are designed with this in mind, based in particular on communities of practice between teaching teams in schools, research teams in laboratories and production teams in companies.
