Created in 2008 in partnership with Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées to explore the details and processes involved in hydraulics, engineering structures and sedimentary trends. Christened the Adhémar Barré de Saint Venant Chair, it was created in January 2008 at the initiative of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and its foundation, with the support of EDF. The Chair explores the ups and down and the processes involved in hydraulics, engineering structures and sedimentary trends.
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.
As a partner of Schools and Universities, the Foundation works to support the development of the various disciplines and excellence in energy-related education. Training is thus perfectly adapted to the latest requirements of the nuclear, hydraulic, solar, wind, clean coal and energy efficiency domains.
