A living space to (re)connect with your power to act
Since 2014, Mérieux Université has supported the development of the men and women who make up the strength and soul of the Mérieux Group.
We believe that learning shouldn’t just be about acquiring skills – it should raise awareness, strengthen alignment and encourage action.
Much more than a training organization, we are a living space for reflection, growth and transformation.
A new way of learning, deciding and acting
At Mérieux Université, we believe that strong, sustainable performance begins with people. We are committed to fostering a new way of learning, deciding, and acting—one that is more conscious, more profound, and more enduring.
Because all transformation starts within, we believe in the power of individuals connected to their authenticity, their capacity to act, and in the intelligence that emerges from their interactions.
By alignment,
by sense,
by people
In a complex, ever-changing world, we aim to create a demanding, lively space, a place where everyone can unleash their potential, reconnect with their power to act, and become a clear, committed player in their own transformation, as well as that of the collective.
Connecting humanism and performance
We design transformative spaces and experiences that challenge, inspire, and invite people to think and act differently. Because it is through cultivating openness, courage, and heartfelt momentum that we unlock our capacity to adapt and grow sustainably.
Through its actions, Mérieux Université helps to spread the founding values of the Group—humanism, social responsibility, pioneering spirit, and a borderless approach—encouraging individuals and collectives to act in alignment with this heritage.
We don't train, we awaken ; we don't just support, we reveal.
So that everyone becomes the center of their own development journey and so that transformations are not only effective — but fair, meaningful and sustainable.
Our core values
Committed Humanism
We believe that lasting performance and innovation grow from a deeply human foundation.
To make humanism an active principle means placing relationships, trust, and diversity at the core of all collaboration.
It means valuing empathy, active listening, and mutual respect as powerful levers of both individual and collective transformation.
2.
Empowerment
Empowering individuals and teams means enabling them to take a stand, make choices, and have influence.
It means cultivating trust, autonomy, and responsibility within a demanding yet caring environment—so they can make informed decisions and actively contribute to their own transformation, that of their organization, and of the world they are helping to shape.
3.
The Courage to Change
Welcoming change means expanding perspectives, moving beyond the comfort of the familiar, and exploring new possibilities.
It means choosing relevance over speed, purpose over habit, and thoughtful questioning over ready-made answers.
It is already an act of boldness to face the unknown with curiosity—an essential first step toward embracing our fears and moving forward with courage toward what truly matters.
4.
The Power of the Collective
Believing in collective intelligence means favoring cross-functional collaboration and co-creation over siloed approaches.
It means valuing diversity, the intersection of perspectives, and enlightened sharing as essential drivers of richer ideas and innovative solutions.
5.
Long-Term Vision
To build with depth, to think in terms of long-term impact, and to prioritize coherence over urgency.
What we do today shapes the world of tomorrow: each action we take carries responsibility for the future.
6.
Choosing Optimism
We deeply believe in the potential for transformation, while acknowledging the complexity of reality.
We choose grounded, intentional optimism—because hope is a powerful driver of momentum.
