Team and governance

Instances ensure the daily functioning of the network:

  • The grouping council defines Biogenouest's strategy, ensures the consistency of the actions implemented and approves Biogenouest's program of activities. Its president is elected for one year, an election which respects the geographical (Bretagne and Pays de la Loire) and institutional alternation (large research organizations and universities).
  • The Steering Committee ensures the implementation of the decisions, the permanent follow-up and the animation of the activity of the GIS and its various bodies.
  • The Scientific Council of Biogenouest is in charge of the scientific animation of the network, it proposes the scientific policy, the long-term orientations and their evolution, the recognition of federating thematic programs, the variation of the means necessary for the implementation of these orientations.
  • The Technology core facilities Committee, made up of core facility managers, has the role of promoting the pooling and coordination of the activities of the various core facilities (working rules, organizational methods, quality procedures, access management, pricing policies, etc.).
    This committee has an advisory role: it provides guidance and provides advice to the Steering Committee and the Scientific Council.
  • The Animation Unit has for mission the animation, the coordination and the communication of the network.

Our goals

Supported by its 11 signatory members, the GIS IBiSA and the Bretagne and Pays de la Loire regions, Biogenouest acts in common, notably for:

Fosteremergence of high-performance technological core facilities at the service of the interregional scientific community of life sciences and the environment, in particular by ensuring the coordinated development of core facilities or by organizing the grouping of certain core facilities belonging to the same field.

Look for the optimal use of equipment and resources.

Encourage the development of pooling approaches for the most expensive scientific equipment and / or requiring support by high-level technical staff.

Contribute to animation and communication actions relating to the network of regional core facilities.

Help with pooling of resources common to the core facilities of the regional perimeter, for example with regard to the development and management of quality, the setting up of pricing support units or any other service that it would seem appropriate to pool.

Contribute to the training of students, the academic and industrial community as well as the general public, to enable them to acquire as quickly as possible the most innovative concepts in the life sciences, and their applications.
