LAGEPP’s four competences are:
▪ process control
▪ formulation of active ingredients
▪ formulation of solid particles
▪ structured modelling and controlling processes,
which lead its teams to develop basic research and ensure the transfer of the results to the major industrial activities of the Rhone Alpes Region in particular.

The teachers-researchers participate in many national and international networks and projects:
Alone and jointly, they organise reputed conferences such as the French Society of Process Engineering, the French Thermal Society, the Skin and Formulation Congress, the Jacques Cartier Entretiens, and the IFAC congress, and their works regularly win awards at the Annual Congress of the French Chemical Society, from the Rhone-Alpes Process Engineering Committee, the National Academy of Pharmacy, and innovative Pollutec-Techniques, etc. Its researchers publish in the most prestigious scientific journals and in 2014, S. Briançon and M.A. Bolzinger received the rank of Knight of the Order of Academic Palms.
