Celphedia trainings UK 2021.png

Supporting and training the users of CELPHEDIA is an essential objective among the missions of the Infrastructure CELPHEDIA. The centers offer a comprehensive panel of training courses and workshops of interest to their users. The trainings are built on the expertise of the centers and contribute also to answer the core teams' needs.  The goal is to train and support the users for an efficient use of animal model organisms with respect to the Ethics and animal welfare. Each year, the training courses are readjusted or new training courses are set up by the partner centers to meet the needs of the scientific community. More and more training is provided in English.

Most regulatory trainings listed below are organized, either by the CNRS or within the framework of "CNRS Formation Entreprises". Whether CNRS trainings are limited to CNRS employees or non-CNRS employees working in a CNRS unit, "CNRS Formation Entreprises" is open to all trainees.

The partner centers of CELPHEDIA infrastructure provide trainings in the following areas (details on the "training" page of each center):

Regulatory trainings

The regulatory trainings to use animals for experimental purposes, either for staff developing (formerly Level I) or applying experimental procedures (formerly Level II) are conducted in accordance with the new European Directive 2010/63.
