The CBH Graduate School is organizing a summer school on the theme of environmental contaminants from June 22 to 26, 2026. The event will take place on the Saint Martin d'Hères campus and is open to Master's and PhD students.

What are their origins? How can their toxic potential be assessed? How can they be detected? Can all risks be predicted and controlled?
Conduct an investigation with your project team and identify the risks linked to a real-life situation.
