Presentation of MSc Sustainable Energy Futures

The decrease in fossil energies (and the resulting sustained rise in their price), the considerable increase in energy demand, supply difficulties, the weight of the energy sector in GHG emissions and the fight against climate change (reaffirmed by the ratification of the Paris Agreements in 2015) require a rapid and profound transformation of energy production and consumption.

To achieve this, the traditional players in the sector (Total, EDF, ENGIE, etc.), as well as the new players, must mobilize and adapt by relying heavily on the recruiting new profiles .

This program offers a global vision of the energy and environment sectors, drawing on both science and technology, but also on the humanities and social sciences (political science, economics, etc.).

Its main objective is to train executives capable of designing and implementing intelligent systems for managing energy infrastructures, controlling consumption and storing energy by using high-tech control and command techniques, sensor networks and information systems. This enables them to understand the changes in the Energy and Environment sectors sectors, to understand new associated challenges, to respond to and anticipate threats and to deploy appropriate solutions.

Jaho

I joined the first MSc Energy class because I am passionate about new technologies and very involved in sustainable development issues. I dream of applying my technical skills to help create a more sustainable world. I am very happy today to be able to start an internship in a startup..
