To set out and perform competitive research on an international level, to win and keep the confidence of our peers, of the supervisory authorities, of our partners and of our sponsors, to adapt to scientific, economic and social contexts, my wish has been, since I took my office in 2016, for our laboratory to keep up with its commitment in Quality process.

Therefore, I named Mrs Magali PERIER as a Quality Manager. I entrusted her with the mission of keeping alive and developing our quality management system based on the ISO 9001 international standard.

In order for this system to fit harmoniously in our activities and keep on improving its efficiency as well as our efficiency, I hereby undertake to  :

• Ensure that we meet our partners /sponsors’ requirements with the aim of keeping increasing their satisfaction.
• Develop and promote a Quality policy that respects the specificity of our professions.
• Ensure that the Quality goals are in line with this policy. 
• Ensure that everyone is familiar with this system.
• Be personally invested in the promotion of the Quality spirit to all my co-workers in order for them to guarantee the system dynamics.
• Control the evolution of this system by periodic assessments.
• Allocate, as far as possible, human, financial and organizational means in order to fully reach our goals.

But, because Quality is a shared concern, I’d remind that everyone is concerned, whatever her/his position within the Laboratory, and I will always be carefully listening and be interested, and so will all the Managers, to any suggestion aiming at improving our QMS and our working methods.
