# Gepromed > Gepromed is a non-profit research institute in Strasbourg, France, working at > the intersection of medical device safety, surgical training and biomaterials > research. Founded in 1993. ISO 9001 certified and Qualiopi accredited, the > French quality standard required for a training provider to be publicly > funded. The site is published primarily in French; an English toggle exists in the interface but does not currently have separate URLs, so the French page is the canonical version of every path listed below. Gepromed's work follows one implant cycle: training the surgeons who place a device, engineering and evaluating devices, and analysing explanted devices after removal to feed findings back into both. ## Core pages - [Home](https://gepromed.com/): overview of the four platforms and the implant cycle. - [Trainings](https://gepromed.com/trainings): practical, supervised, certified surgical training in vascular surgery and ophthalmology, held in France and elsewhere in Europe. Individual course pages are served dynamically and are not currently listed in the sitemap. - [Congresses](https://gepromed.com/congresses): scientific congresses organised by Gepromed, including the ESVB series (European Symposium on Vascular Biomaterials) and ISVB 2026.
