This Chair handles the management of complex projects, operation of high-risk industrial facilities, and automated systems, with Ecole Centrale Paris (http://www.ecp.fr/) and Supélec (http://www.supelec.fr/).
Nuclear and Renewable Energies, in partnership with the Ecole Polytechnique (http://www.polytechnique.fr/). Created in 2008 in partnership with EDF, the European foundation for tomorrow's energies and the Fondation de l'Ecole Polytechnique, the Sustainable Energies Chair is particularly active within the context of the 3rd year teaching programme at the Ecole Polytechnique, focusing on the "Energies of the 20th Century".
Energy production is at the core of the challenges of economic development, climate conservation and fair access to resources.
To meet these challenges, the students of today will need to devote all their know-how to the pursuit and production of CO2-free energies for tomorrow: nuclear, hydraulic, solar, wind, and clean coal, as well as energy efficiency.
The Foundation funds teaching and research chairs, and strikes agreements and specific partnerships with engineering schools and universities.
It enriches the pallet of available training by supporting the creation and funding of Masters courses specialising in energies, as well as the enhancement and creation of optional courses in energy for 3rd year Engineering students.
This is one of the key missions of the European foundation for tomorrow's energies: supporting new talent through the arrangement of funding for theses, grants, study trips, work placements and projects during sandwich years… … to allow you to enjoy the support of the Foundation around the world during your training on the energies of tomorrow.
The aim of the European foundation for tomorrow's energies is to make a high level contribution to higher education. The Foundation invites key figures renowned for their expertise and their ability to contribute in a concrete manner to the issues involved in energy-related training.
The decision-making body. The Board of Directors decides on the major directions and the objectives for the European foundation for tomorrow's energies.
It is composed of EDF leaders and scientific figures.
At the core of the Foundation's processes. Composed of scientists, industrialists and instructors, the Scientific Board provides the initiative for actions and orientations taken by the Foundation: creation of energy training courses, partnerships with engineering schools and universities, aid and funding, etc. Ensures alignment between programmes and needs, along with project excellence.
