Association Grenobloise des Etudiants en Pharmacie Industrielle (AGEPI)

What Association Grenobloise des Etudiants en Pharmacie Industrielle (AGEPI) does

AGEPI (Association Grenobloise des Etudiants en Pharmacie Industrielle) is a French non-profit student association (Association Loi 1901), founded on November 26, 2014, and headquartered at the UFR de Pharmacie of Université Grenoble Alpes in La Tronche, France. It serves pharmacy students at Grenoble who have chosen or are considering the pharmaceutical industry specialization (filière industrie), typically 4th to 6th year students, as well as alumni of that track who now work in the pharmaceutical industry. The association's mission is to bridge the gap between students and industry professionals by providing career orientation, internship placement support, alumni networking, and exposure to pharmaceutical industry career paths.

The association's core offering is a WordPress-based website (agepi-grenoble.fr) that integrates a digital alumni directory (Annuaire des Alumni), an internship directory (Annuaire des Stages), job fact sheets (Fiches Métiers), master program testimonials, and educational content under the "AGEPI Décrypte" module. Supporting content includes the Fast&Indus video interview series hosted on YouTube, podcasts distributed via Spotify and Soundcloud, and the annual Guide du Stagiaire internship guide. Membership is free (0€ annual fee) but required for full access to the member portal and its resources.

AGEPI's go-to-market is community-led: it reaches students through its website, social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), and by organizing in-person events including the FMEP career forum (which drew 400+ students in 2026 and ~350 in 2025), site visits to pharma companies (Roche Diagnostics, Skyepharma, Laboratoires d'Uriage, Phoenix Pharma France), master program weeks, conferences, and networking meals. The association is governed by a 9-member bureau elected annually and is institutionally integrated with the AEPG (the general pharmacy student association), APOGE, AEBG, and national bodies including ANEPF, APIEP, and EPSA. Its current president (2026-2027 mandate) is Ivan LEDOUX, who simultaneously serves as the Industry Delegate (Délégué Industrie) within AEPG.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• IPIL – Institut de Pharmacie Industrielle de Lyon: Lyon's pharmaceutical-industry institute that is a regular FMEP partner and trains the same industry-track profile. A nearby emerging player in the same niche whose students would naturally overlap with AGEPI's content audience.

Regional players

• CIP – Club des Industriels Pharmaceutiques (student-track peers at other faculties): Industry-track student clubs at peer French pharmacy faculties (Tours, Paris-Saclay, Montpellier) operating parallel industry-pharmacy career-services programs. They do not compete on the same campus but pursue the same student-industry bridge model in their own regions.

Direct peers

• AEBG – Association des Etudiants en Biotechnologies de Grenoble: Biotechnology-focused student association co-located at Grenoble. AEBG co-organizes FMEP with AGEPI and serves an adjacent scientific-student audience, comparable in structure and event format.
• APOGE – Association de la Pharmacie d'Officine Grenobloise Etudiante: Sister student association at the Grenoble faculty representing the community-pharmacy track. APOGE co-organizes FMEP with AGEPI and AEPG and operates under the same campus ecosystem, making it a tightly comparable local peer.
• APIEP – Association pour la Promotion auprès de l'Industrie des Etudiants en Pharmacie: National association specifically promoting pharma-industry careers to pharmacy students. AGEPI organizes trips to the APIEP Forum in Paris-Saclay, making APIEP the closest direct peer in mission and audience.
• AEPG – Association des Etudiants en Pharmacie de Grenoble: The umbrella pharmacy-student association at the same Grenoble faculty. AGEPI's President simultaneously serves as AEPG's Délégué Industrie and the two operate under a joint Charter — the most directly comparable peer organization sharing the same campus and student base.

Others

• AFIPRAL – Association des Fabricants de l'Industrie Pharmaceutique en Rhône-Alpes: Regional pharma-industry employer association represented at FMEP 2026. Functions as an ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor, connecting AGEPI to regional employers and PME experience panels.

Broad incumbents

• ANEPF – Association Nationale des Etudiants en Pharmacie de France: The national federation of all French pharmacy-student associations. AGEPI must be represented at ANEPF General Assemblies and participates in its industrial workshops, making ANEPF the broadest incumbent operating in the same overall space.
• EPSA – European Pharmaceutical Students' Association: European-wide federation of pharmacy students. EPSA delivered soft-skills workshops at AGEPI's WEEP2i event; it operates at a larger geographic scale with the same underlying student-pharmacy audience and career-development mission.
