Excellence in training
Education at the heart of our success
What are our objectives?
The University and schools of Bordeaux are a breeding ground for tomorrow's research. LAPHIA supports the actors of the physics and chemistry training at the University of Bordeaux to reinforce the innovation effort of the laser and photonics cluster. In order to open up international training, LAPHIA offers mobility opportunities with partner universities.

Strengthening existing training
In order to structure and develop Bordeaux's photonics training offer and position it internationally, an optical-photonics laser training platform has been created. Hosted by Marie-Bénédicte Vieules, this platform focuses our efforts in three areas:
Initial trainingIn order to encourage the orientation of students in an optical and materials course, LAPHIA supports the development of a specialization course in materials and photonics, through a mutualization with the Institut d' Optique Graduate School (IOGS) in Bordeaux. |
Continuing educationLAPHIA partners with PYLA, the continuing education centre of the Route des Lasers cluster. PYLA offers more than 40 training courses on the different themes of lasers, optics, photonics and their applications. |
Entrepreneurship trainingLAPHIA is partnering with Entrepreneuriat Campus Aquitaine (ECA) to access awareness raising, training and support tools for business creation or takeover. |
