Presentation of the Energy Transition Major

Climate change is currently one of humanity’s greatest challenges, decarbonization has become urgent and the energy transition is one of the most important levers for action, because energy is at the heart of our economic model.

This program trains students to understand the complex dynamics of the energy sector and to design innovative solutions to the economic, social and technological challenges associated with energy production and consumption.

Our students develop solid analytical and decision-making skills by mobilizing digital tools, particularly artificial intelligence, to optimize energy systems and industrial transformation.

Objectives of the Energy Transition Major

Master all the technical, economic and financial aspects of the energy sector (production, transport, storage, distribution, uses, etc.) as well as the energy of housing, cities, ICTs, etc.

Identify the main challenges, levers and constraints of energy transition policies.

Anticipate changes and innovations in the energy sector.
