QSE: Implementing a corporate waste management system
Waste management is no longer merely a regulatory and financial issue for socio-economic actors. It is fully integrated into the broader context of ecological transition, the circular economy, and resource conservation—areas in which the business community must play a leading role, just as much as citizens do.
Implementing a comprehensive waste management strategy means reducing your environmental impact, cutting costs, and creating opportunities for innovation through a unifying initiative that promotes shared values. The goal of this training is to equip you with the tools you need to make your initiative a success.

Brillouin spectroscopy: setup of a VIPA 2-channel Brillouin microscope with a diffraction grating
Brillouin spectroscopy is a non-contact, all-optical technique that provides information about the mechanical properties of matter. It is rapidly gaining traction in the field of biology, in part due to the emergence of a new optical component (VIPA). When coupled with a confocal microscope, a VIPA-based spectrograph enables rapid spectrum acquisition, paving the way for Brillouin imaging of various biological samples.
The goal of this short course is simple: to introduce the theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of Brillouin spectroscopy.
By the end of this training, participants will have a clear understanding of the available options and the techniques needed to design a tool tailored to their specific needs.
