"In a complex world where a high premium is placed on knowledge, we must constantly expand our areas of expertise.
We consider our employees to be our greatest asset and bioMérieux University now gives them the opportunity to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizon."
Philippe Devaux
Corporate Training Vice President
In our field, the intellectual and professional capital of our employees is a key competitive advantage. Building these skills has become highly strategic today.
Based on the principle of knowledge sharing, bioMérieux University has been designed to synchronize in-house capabilities with our strategic goals. Courses for both individuals and groups are organized to form a three-year curriculum. We encourage the transmission of knowledge among peers and involve managers in employee training. However, we do not hesitate to bring in external expertise.
The bioMérieux University curriculum is designed to develop employees’ know-how and to share with them our company’s values and best practices. We help our teams to reach their performance objectives and we reinforce our corporate culture by creating a common approach to management and a shared knowledge base.
bioMérieux University has been launched in France and in the United States. It will be extended to our global subsidiaries in the coming years.

Benoît Beyaert, Project Management Methods and Tools Manager, began working for bioMérieux in 2006. In 2008, he became manager of a small team and immediately attended one of the key bioMérieux University training programs, new manager integration.
“As soon as I took on my new responsibilities, I received training in “Managers Essentials,” which completely structured my learning approach, both in terms of managing my team and the in-depth knowledge every manager needs to have of all the company’s functions. Our group of trainees was closely knit, which allowed me to expand my in-house network and discover what each function can contribute to the company. Thanks to this experience, I assumed my new management role with a much greater sense of calm and confidence.
One of the most valuable features of this training program is that post-training updates are held after 30, 60, 90 and 180 days. The group I belong to is still meeting well beyond this, which just shows how useful this approach is! “
