Training through and for research, with continuity from master's to doctorate.
Our ecosystem
The Institut Origines draws on 5 faculties (university training entities) with around 500 master’s students enrolled on programmes attached to our institute and 6 partner doctoral schools in our scope, with around 20 PhD students per year completing their theses in the institute’s disciplines.
Our training initiatives
The Institut Origines proposes a number of initiatives for master’s and PhD students in the field: one summer school per year, immersion internships in the research environment, an instrumental and technology platform available to bachelor’s and master’s students, optional astrobiology teaching units, a doctoral programme in astrobiology, the funding of theses and post-doctoral programmes and one Origines prize per year. At international level, we are developing close ties with the CIVIS alliance, European civic university, including the construction of a Graduate School. The institute has exchange agreements with 8 international universities and is a member of the European Astrobiology Institute.

Alizée Amsler
PhD student at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM)
I'm a second-year PhD student and my thesis is financed by the Institut Origines. I'm working on the characterization of icy moons in the Solar System, and more specifically on the evolution of their liquid water oceans. Some of these moons have high astrobiological potential, and will be explored by future space missions over the next decade.
