Junior Labs
About
The "Junior Labs" provide a platform for emerging scholars to present their research. These sessions foster a collaborative environment for discussing innovative ideas and refining academic work. The initiative aims to cultivate intellectual exchange and support the professional development of early-career economists.
​
Through funding provided by ENS de Lyon, CERGIC actively supports the creation of Junior Research Laboratories, enabling students to engage directly with academic research. These student-led initiatives offer hands-on experience in research design and organization and are designed to lead to concrete academic outputs, such as workshops, conferences, or publications.
​
By financing these laboratories, CERGIC allows master's and doctoral students to organize scientific events on research questions of their own choosing. Junior Research Laboratories are created for a two-year period, subject to approval by the ENS de Lyon Scientific Council, and conclude with a final report, with the possibility of renewal.
Gender Economics Junior lab
The Junior Lab GenIES (Gender Interdisciplinary and Economics Studies) explores gender issues at the intersection of different social sciences. In a context of a growing concern regarding issues on gender equality, diversity and inclusion, the goal of GenIES is to bring together young researchers around an interdisciplinary and collaborative thinking. By combining workshops, webinars and promotion of research initiatives, this junior lab aims to further disseminate the results of gender researchs. The goal of GenIES is to create a dynamic space for discussion and scientific production, and it aspires to contribute actively to academic and public debates on equality and inclusion policies.
Collider Junior Lab
The Collider Junior Lab focuses on automated data collection techniques. Automated data collection entails the creation of custom software or the adaptation of existing digital tools to systematically compile data from a range of source materials into a structured database: digitized archival documents, ancient maps, satellite images, literary texts, posts on social media, etc.
