Awaken to transform: a committed, living approach
At Mérieux Université, andragogy is seen as a lever for action in the service of public health.
* Andragogy is the art and science of teaching adults. Unlike pedagogy (teaching children), it takes into account the experience, autonomy and specific needs of adult learners.
Train professionals capable of understanding health challenges, taking concrete action in the field, and innovating in the service of public health.
Our training programs are built on scientific excellence, field experience, and the richness of peer-to-peer exchanges.
Each program aims to strengthen practical knowledge, develop key competencies, and promote a collaborative and sustainable approach to health.
Professionals who complete the training are better equipped to understand the major challenges of their sector, take action, and actively contribute to its evolution.
Rethinking learning in a changing world
Our approach, both dynamic and committed, goes beyond simply transmitting static knowledge: it inspires, challenges, and transforms.
An andragogy rooted in reality
It is a learning approach grounded in practical experience, placing the learner at the heart of their own journey.
It is based on an active and responsible process, encouraging each individual to take ownership of their learning and become the main driver of their personal development.
Think, act, build together
By engaging learners to think, act, and collaborate on topics that resonate with them, this approach fosters deep, lasting commitment.
It supports learning that is both hands-on and meaningful.
For Mérieux Université, training is not merely about transferring knowledge: it is a true process that prepares each individual to address the strategic challenges of tomorrow.
We are creating a vibrant and demanding space where each individual can unlock their potential, reclaim their agency, and play an active, conscious role in both their own transformation and that of the collective.
By strengthening our role as a partner in major transformations and as a catalyst for new thinking, we aim to foster a new way of learning, deciding, and acting — one that is more conscious, deeper, and more sustainable.
Our ambition is to infuse this mindset throughout the Group and to help our organizations become true learning systems, driven by a shared, positive, and lasting vision.
