Transforming teacher training and support to help their practices evolve.
Project
Ampiric, a pilot cluster
A hub for all students
Ampiric is a pilot project designed to achieve lasting improvements in pupils' learning of basic skills throughout their school career. Supported by Aix-Marseille University and its partners, Ampiric combines research, training and fieldwork to develop pedagogical practices and promote educational success for all, especially students in difficulty.

Working together to innovate
Ampiric (Aix-Marseille - Pôle d'Innovation, de Recherche, d'Enseignement pour l'Education) is one of Aix-Marseille University's major structuring projects, and winner of the Caisse des dépôts et consignations' "Pôle pilote de formation et de recherche en éducation" call for projects.
A network of partners
Coordinated by Aix-Marseille University and the A*Midex foundation, with the Aix-Marseille Inspé component, Ampiric is run in partnership with: the Association Nationale de la Recherche et de la Technologie (ANRT), Réseau Canopé and the Région Sud.
- the Aix-Marseille Academy,
- Avignon University and Université Côte d'Azur,
- the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS),
- Association Nationale de la Recherche et de la Technologie (ANRT),
- Réseau Canopé,
- and the Southern Region.
Linking research, training and the field
More concretely, Ampiric brings together researchers and teacher-researchers from different laboratories, national education managers, trainers and teachers, who rely on the development of innovative research work to bring out new scientific knowledge and relevant know-how for teachers, and to develop, experiment with and disseminate new pedagogical approaches.
To this end, Ampiric organizes seminars, conferences and feedback days to encourage exchanges...
Ampiric sheds light on the complexities of education by fostering dialogue and a shared culture between those involved in the world of education.

Our motto
The cluster's 5 actions
Initiate and support collaborations between teaching teams and researchers, with projects designed and carried out jointly by the field and research.
Improve understanding of the teaching-learning process in fundamental knowledge by supporting basic research projects
Working closely with players in the socio-economic world encourages the emergence of innovative teaching tools, whether or not they are based on digital technologies. Coordinated by the Assocation Nationale de La Recherche et de la Technologie (ANRT), the CréativLab draws on research to co-produce, experiment with and label teaching resources, helping to improve fundamental learning.

Focus on the "Jacques Ginestié" experimental set
Inaugurated in January 2023, the Espace Jacques Ginestié is a unique 200m² space dedicated to educational research. Located on the first floor of the Inspé d'Aix-Marseille on the Saint-Jérôme Campus, it is designed for teachers, trainers, researchers, engineers and doctoral students.
Various specialized rooms are used to study the behavior of students and teachers. These include a modular classroom equipped with cameras, microphones, one-way glass and position sensors, a virtual reality room and another dedicated to the study of gaze and brain activity. The space is also equipped with advanced technological tools such as digital tablets, educational robots and data collection devices. It also offers technical assistance to support research projects.
