What Laboratoire Educations et Promotion de la Santé UR 3412 does

Laboratoire Éducations et Promotion de la Santé (LEPS UR 3412) is a public university research laboratory affiliated with Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, founded in 1977 by Pr. Jean-François d'Ivernois and headquartered at 74 rue Marcel Cachin, Bobigny, Seine-Saint-Denis, France. The laboratory conducts research and training across three thematic axes: individual and collective empowerment competencies, health-promoting environments, and reorientation of health services alongside professionalizing training programs. It operates two research chairs — the Chaire de Recherche Innovation et Pratiques en Soins (held by Dr. Valérie Loizeau) and the Chaire de Recherche Engagements des Patients (held by Dr. Olivia Gross, laureate of 5 national prizes) — and houses the EUR-SIePS, inaugurated December 2023 as France's first university research school in nursing sciences.

Its academic portfolio comprises a Diplôme d'État Infirmier en Pratique Avancée (DE IPA) with three specializations (chronic diseases, psychiatry/mental health, emergency care), five Master's specializations under a common M1 Ingénierie en Santé foundation (Éducation Thérapeutique et Éducations en Santé; Qualité, Sécurité des Parcours de Soins; Ingénierie des Formations en Santé; Recherche et Innovation en Soin), doctoral programs, the DirDoc diploma for thesis directors, and continuing education for healthcare professionals. Methodological proprietary assets include the PEP 13 patient-teacher program and the CEKHP experiential knowledge capitalization method, alongside the community-based Académie Populaire de la Santé co-developed with BNP Paribas Foundation and Codes 93.

The laboratory is publicly funded through the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, supplemented by competitive grants, philanthropic partnerships (BNP Paribas Foundation), and tuition under the French public university fee regime. Its customer base comprises Master's and doctoral students, advanced-practice nurses, partner hospitals (AP-HP, Hôpital Jean Verdier, Hôpital Avicenne, EPSM Lille-Métropole), emergency services (SDIS 77), and an international academic network spanning universities in Canada (Montréal, McGill, Sherbrooke, Calgary), the USA (Dartmouth), Lebanon (Joseph, Libanaise, Islamique), Belgium (Liège), Argentina (Buenos Aires), the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kindu, Kinshasa), and Senegal (Rose Dieng de Dakar). The laboratory is led by director Pr. Rémi Gagnayre, vice-director Aurore Margat, and a 14-person staff spanning chair holders, engineers, a documentalist, pedagogical secretary, and executive assistant.
