The construction of new energy works in France and abroad (nuclear power plants, wind turbine farms, dams, etc.) and the maintenance of existing works require highly trained civil engineers. These engineers will be trained in both project management and sub-contracting and will be able to adapt to international working environments.
Created in 2008 and carried by Ecole des Mines ParisTech and Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, the Chair enjoys the support of EDF, GDF-SUEZ and GRTgaz. The Chair develops teaching missions for Masters programmes and for the specific training provided at the Material Ageing Institute, whose research centre was created in 2009.
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.
Emmanuel Frere-Lecoutre, 24, is an Optimisation Upstream Downstream Trading Engineer at EDF. Acting as the interface between production and sales, he contributes to the successful management of the Group's assets.
