As the leader of the Montpellier University Innovation Cluster (PUI), the University of Montpellier is committed to training in innovation. That is why, since 2020, a training program entitled "Capacity Building" has been offered to all partners of the Montpellier PUI.   Each year, €50,000 is allocated to innovation training for administrative staff and researchers from I-SITE partners to ensure they develop their skills. Ultimately, the "Capacity Building" training program aims to standardize practices across all Montpellier PUI partner structures.  Themes For more information, see our "2026 Training Cycle" catalog.

At the University Innovation Hub (PUI), themed workshops to raise awareness of innovation-promoting mechanisms are offered to service agents, researchers from PUI partners, and interested companies and start-ups. The first workshop, entitled "I'm setting up an ANR LABCOM," designed for researchers, project leaders, and representatives of companies and start-ups, explores in detail the ANR LABCOM program, which aims to encourage academic researchers to establish structured partnerships with companies. These partnerships take the form of "Joint Laboratories" created in collaboration between a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) or a Medium-sized Enterprise (MSE) and a research organization laboratory. The workshops, led by agents from PUI member institutions dedicated to partnerships and commercialization, will be followed by personalized meetings designed to offer participants, including companies and start-ups, dedicated support in the process of putting together an application. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBDZdAZQkmg
