Rue89 is a French online news website founded by former journalists of the French daily, Libération . The site is composed of young journalists, and is very well known in France. It received the Online Journalism award in 2012 in the category of Non-Engish sites. Rue89 is open to all areas of interest, from sports to politics, from culture to environment. Considerable space is devoted to photos, videos, internaute participation and new technology. Any student interested in journalism in France, should consider this unique opportunity, if able to meet the requirements involved.nnStudents will be expected to work independently and creatively, and to conceive of a project that the team can benefit from. For example, a student may want to do innovative research on climate change, or on security and the internet. Alternatively, a student may offer to redesign the web site. It is up to the student to consider (and demonstrate) how best s/he can contribute to the team in a short period fo time (eight weeks).

Evaluating the sensitivity of marine habitats to physical pressures caused by human activitiesnIn 2014, the Conservation Services (SPN) of the Museum of Natural History in Paris (MNHN) launched a project to evaluate the sensitivity of marine habitats (such as reefs) to physical pressures caused by human activities. These include the pressures of physical loss and physical damage associated with activities such as fishing, aggregate extraction, wind farms, anchoring and coastal development.nnThis project is funded by the French Ministry of Ecology, who consider habitat sensitivity information essential to the management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and the wider marine environment ¿ both of which are obligatory under the European Habitats Directive and Marine Strategy Framework Directive. France is not the first European country to undertake sensitivity assessments for marine habitats. Equivalent evaluations exist or are in the process of development in neighbouring EU countries, including the UK. The SPN-MNHN wants to insure that we effectively draw on these existing information sources as well as identify data gaps. All EU information would also need to be 'translated' in a way that fits with how habitats are defined and classified here in France.nnThis internship would consist of working with the SPN-MNHN team in the analysis of the existing knowledge base, with a focus on Atlantic and English Channel habitats in France. This will support the population of "habitat sensitivity matrices" and highlight gaps in evidence that would require further literature review/expert judgement. This stage follows up on an earlier study undertaken by a Stanford student in summer 2014, entitled "Review of recent methodologies to evaluate the physical impacts of fishing on marine benthic habitats" which helped the SPN-MNHN and its scientific experts decide on an appropriate methodology for assessing habitat sensitivity in France in early 2015.
