The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has joined forces with the University of Tours, France, to launch a joint certification programme in Sustainable Biomanufacturing. This innovative six-month course, followed by a two-week onsite session in France, is designed to equip participants with advanced skills in sustainable biomanufacturing while fostering Indo-French collaboration in biotechnology.
Open to graduates and professionals in biotechnology, chemical engineering, and related disciplines, the programme will cover crucial aspects of biomanufacturing. Key topics include biomanufacturing processes, sustainable development, bioproduct purification, bioreactor design, and regulatory affairs. Participants will gain hands-on experience and deep insights into sustainable biomanufacturing, which is increasingly important in addressing global environmental and production challenges.
The course will be delivered by experts from IIT Madras and the University of Tours, alongside industry professionals, ensuring a blend of academic knowledge and practical industry experience. Participants will receive joint certification from both institutions, providing them with international credentials and the opportunity to build global networks. The onsite session in France will offer valuable exposure to cutting-edge research facilities and opportunities to connect with European industry partners and professionals.
This programme is part of IIT Madras’s ongoing efforts to expand its global reach and strengthen international academic partnerships. The collaboration with the University of Tours aims to address global challenges in biomanufacturing, focusing on sustainable practices and innovation in biotechnology. As industries worldwide transition towards greener and more sustainable manufacturing processes, skilled professionals with expertise in biomanufacturing are in high demand.
Through this partnership, participants will receive top-tier education from two prestigious institutions and gain critical exposure to the regulatory frameworks and industry standards in India and Europe. This international certification is expected to open doors for professionals aiming to work in global biotechnology sectors and lead initiatives in sustainable manufacturing.
Further details will be announced shortly, including application deadlines, fees, and eligibility criteria. Interested candidates can visit the official IIT Madras website for the latest updates. This collaboration marks a significant step in IIT Madras's commitment to advancing sustainable education and research, aiming to cultivate a new generation of professionals capable of driving innovation in sustainable biomanufacturing.
