Grégoire Borst

Ph.D, HDR

Professeur, Directeur

Université Paris Cité & IUF

Grégoire Borst est Professeur de psychologie du Développement et de neurosciences cognitives de l’éducation et Directeur du Laboratoire de Psychologie du Développement et de l’Education de l’enfant (CNRS). Il a obtenu sa thèse en 2005 à l'Université Paris Sud et a intégré le LaPsyDÉ en 2010 après 4 ans de post-doctorat à l’Université d’Harvard. Ces recherches s’intéressent au rôle des fonctions cognitives de haut niveau (métacognition, planification, résistance aux automatismes, régulation émotionnelle) dans le développement cognitif et socio-émotionnel et dans les apprentissages scolaires chez l'enfant, l'adolescent et le jeune adulte en combinant des approches comportementales et de neuroimagerie (EEG, NIRS, IRM).
Auteur de plus de 70 articles scientifiques, il est également auteur de différents ouvrages de pédagogie (Le cerveau et les apprentissages par exemple) mais aussi d’ouvrages grand public (Mon cerveau – Questions/Réponses). Grégoire Borst travaille en étroite collaboration avec l’ensemble des acteurs de l’éducation. Il est membre senior du Bureau International de l'Education (IBE - UNESCO), membre junior de l'Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), membre du comité jeunesse du Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel (CSA), membre du comité de pilotage de la fédération des établissements scolaires publics innovants (fespi) – DRDIE Ministère de l’Education Nationale, membre du conseil de direction et du conseil scientifique du GIS REEFOR – INSPÉ de Paris, membre du CoNRS - section 26.
