The ICP offers a range of lifelong learning programs designed to help researchers and professionals specialize in specific fields and to equip early-career researchers with key skills in theoretical chemistry or for interdisciplinary projects.

In partnership with the CNRS, the ICP provides specialized training in flow cytometry and mass spectrometry:

• • • • • • • • Fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry: This course introduces the principles of mass spectrometry. More information available here.
              • Biomolecule Analysis by Mass Spectrometry: This session focuses on applying mass spectrometry for biomolecule analysis. Details available here.
              • Cytometry Workshop: This practical workshop covers the fundamentals of flow cytometry. Learn more here.

Customized training programs have also been organized for companies such as Sebia (2018), Galapagos (2021), and Minakem (2023).

The ICP is actively involved in the ThéMoSiA network (CNRS, GDR 2161), co-coordinated by David Lauvergnat for the Northern and Île-de-France regions. Each year, the network organizes two weeks of teaching as part of the Theoretical Chemistry Label. This program provides Master’s and doctoral students with an in-depth introduction to theoretical chemistry and its applications, benefiting both those pursuing research in theoretical chemistry and experimentalists by enhancing their understanding of widely used research methods. For more information on the 2024 edition, please visit the event website.

As part of the BioProbe interdisciplinary program, the ICP participates in organizing the ChemPhysBio summer school. Researchers from the CPSysBio group have contributed to the creation of this program, which aims to help early-stage doctoral students quickly acquire the foundational knowledge necessary to build scientific projects focused on analyzing complex biological environments that engage chemists, physicists, and biologists. In addition to theoretical courses and training in interdisciplinarity, a strong emphasis has been placed on practical work conducted particularly on the technical platforms of the ICP. The impact of the school on students has been analyzed and presented at the International Conference on University Pedagogy.
