Call for Master’s Projects 2025
The Alliance Sorbonne University Global Health Institute (ASU-GHI) is launching its first call for master's internship projects in the field of global health.
This call is aimed at ASU-affiliated faculty members and researchers who wish to host Master’s students for research projects related to the institute’s strategic themes.
Research at the interface of Science and Education
The ASU-GHI places the connection between research and education at the heart of its mission: by offering internships with high scientific value, rooted in contemporary public health challenges, we aim to create a lever for initiating high-potential advances in cross-disciplinary fields.
Priority thematic areas
Submitted projects must fall within the thematic areas of ASU-GHI, which are approached from an interdisciplinary and systemic perspective:
- Health & Environment: interactions between human health, ecosystems, climate, pollution and disease.
- Autonomy, Ageing, Vulnerabilities: study of life trajectories, resilience, social inequalities and access to culture and healthcare.
- Cancer: patient support, comorbidities, care pathways, environmental prevention.
- Nutrition & Health: sustainable food, eating behaviours, nutritional transitions.
These areas are underpinned by three major cross-cutting dimensions:
- Biomedical humanities (ethics, sociology, history, communication),
- Health economics (evaluation of interventions, healthcare systems, social justice),
- Digital health and technologies (AI, telehealth, data engineering, tools
Eligibility requirements
The Master’s project must be supervised by a supervisor assigned to a Research Unit under the supervision of an Alliance Sorbonne University institution, and should preferably fall within one of the ASU-GHI’s priority areas.
Interdisciplinary projects co-supervised by project leaders from different ASU units are encouraged, but this is not a mandatory requirement.
Submission procedures
The application form must be submitted by the project leaders to the ASU-GHI Management Committee:
ASU-globalhealthinstitute@sorbonne-universite.fr
Internship projects will be evaluated based on their alignment with ASU-GHI’s strategic priorities, their educational value for students, and their scientific quality.
As an exception for the year 2025, applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis to allow for greater flexibility and better respond to the dynamics of teaching and scientific teams. Project leaders are therefore invited to submit their proposals as soon as possible, within the limits of available capacity and allocated resources.
Financial support in the form of an internship grant may be awarded, subject to available funds.
Project leaders will receive individual notification by email as soon as a decision has been made regarding their project.
