The M2 BEB offers an international training in English that addresses the need to develop a global bioeconomy based on the sustainable use of biological resources, in the context of the ecological transition.
The program comprises 5 mandatory courses, 1 elective course to be chosen among 2 courses, and 1 MSc thesis internship. Teamwork and experimental training are 2 pillars of the pedagogy.
Information
Skills
- implement up-to-date biotechnological tools to improve the knowledge of plant or microbial metabolisms, and to harness them for the development of novel bioprocesses or bio-based products;
- carry out a research project in a multicultural team;
- develop a global and holistic vision of the bioeconomy.
Objectives
The 2 main objectives are:
• to provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of plant biochemical diversity and of the biotechnological tools (genetic modification, synthetic biology, innovative extraction strategies according to green chemistry principles) supporting innovation in the bioeconomy;
• to train students to implement industry-driven approaches for innovation in the bioeconomy.
