BOOST training takes place directly at the premises of the Institut Sophia Agrobiotech (ISA), the first laboratory on biocontrol in France. Institut Sophia Agrobiotech is an international research institute funded by Université Côte d'Azur (UCAJEDI) and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Institut National de Recherche pour l’Agriculture, l’alimentation et l’Environnement (INRAE): it is also called, in French, "Unité Mixte de Recherche - UMR INRAE 1355, CNRS 7254, Univ.
