Kick Off Meeting for the Bio'Occ project
Winner in January 2023 of the AMI (Appel à Manifestation d'Interet)-
CMA (Compétences et Métiers d'Avenir) call for projects in Biotherapies-Bioproduction, the University of Montpellier is a partner in the consortium that brings together training organizations (the University of Toulouse 3 (project leader), the UM, the INSA, the IMT, GIP Formation et Certification pour l'Insertion Professionnelle), employers (GTP Bioways, Evotec, BioMed Alliance, Pôle de compétitivité Eurobiomed and INSERM), local authorities (Région Occitanie Pyrénées Méditerranée, Toulouse Métropole, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole) and hospitals (CHU Toulouse, CHU Montpellier, CIC Biothérapie).
The aim of the " Biothérapie & Bioproduction en Occitanie " (Bio'Occ) project is to inform, attract, train and retain the talents and players of tomorrow to support innovation in the field of bioproduction and biotherapies in response to the significant development of this sector of activity in Occitanie (and more widely in France) and the demand from manufacturers who are facing recruitment difficulties, from both a quantitative and qualitative point of view.
The project is organized around 4 axes:
- Axis 1: Adapt existing training courses by strengthening partnerships with industry to improve their relevance to needs.
- Priority 2: Complement existing training offerings to meet specific skills needs not currently covered by the creation of new courses.
- Axis 3: Develop forward-looking tools to better target changing needs and thus better adapt training programs on an ongoing basis.
- Priority 4: Deploy communication initiatives to enhance the attractiveness of our professions and the social acceptability of biotherapies, and provide companies with better information on training opportunities.
UM Steering Committee: Laila Gannoun, Thérèse Commes, Estelle Grousseau, Anne-Dominique Lajoix, John de Vos.
