Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that is one week or more in length?:
Yes

A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The INRS program « Summer class on climate sciences » takes place over 6 intensive days, every other year, and takes the form of a « climate court » during which students, divided into subgroups of 4-5 people, must defend a position on a given issue. Two guest speakers also participate in the Summer School. These two speakers, practitioners from the private, municipal or government sectors, discuss certain concrete issues related to climate change that they have had to face in their professional context. The Summer class on climate sciences is a great opportunity for students to learn about political and scientific challenges related to climate change, in a unique format allowing them to develop their debating skills and their critical mind.
