Courses to Veterinary students

LABERCA's experience in the fields of analytical chemistry and food safety enabled teachers-researchers from the laboratory to take part in the training of the veterinary students, both at a basic and advanced stage of their courses. This teaching is particularly based on risk analysis methods (evaluation, management, communication). Besides, analytical chemistry (MS, RMN, IR, chromatography) is covered in order not only to reinforce the veterinary students' knowledge, but also in specialised studies for Master and continuing education students. As an example:
  • ENVN
    UV 51 « Basic scientific and legal tools and methods »
    UV 63 « Dangers for public health »
    UV 82 « Construction of quality and safety in food production chains »
  • ENSV
    « Control of residues and contaminants in food »
  • ENITIAA
    UV : « Food chemical and toxicological risk »
  • ENSIA
    UV « Physico-chemical food safety »
  • Nantes University
    M2R : Master in chemical and engineering sciences, with a speciality in chemistry of the living - chemical analysis and bio-products quality.
    M2P : Master in chemical and food engineering, with a speciality in food industry management and control.
    M2P : Master in chemical sciences and engineering, with a speciality in the analysis and control of industrial products.
    M2R : Master in chemical and food engineering, with a speciality in food and human nutrition sciences (SANH).

SARAF

In 2001, along with 5 European laboratories, the LABERCA implemented a training course (SARAF - School for Advanced REsidue Analysis in Food), provided in English. This course is destined to international scientists willing to gain a high level of expertise in the field of residues and contaminants analysis in food. It accommodates two sessions every year of about twenty professionals each, originating mainly from third countries, for theoretical (2 weeks at the ENVN) and practical (2 to 3 weeks within the LABERCA or partner laboratories) sessions. The LABERCA can thus ensure officially (practical support to the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DG SANCO, DG TRADE) and efficiently the transfer of the French know-how regarding the control of residues and contaminants in food.

Since 2004, the European Commission (DG TRADE) has annually selected the LABERCA, through a call for tenders, to organise a training on the physico-chemistry safety of food.
