Presentation of the Environment & Sustainability Major

In a context marked by enormous challenges for humanity, such as climate change, resource scarcity, social inequalities and ecosystem degradation, the younger generations play a decisive role.

This program trains students to design and deploy innovative, sustainable and responsible solutions that reconcile technological performance, respect for the environment and social equity.

Our students develop solid scientific and technological skills, a systemic understanding of global issues and the ability to take concrete action, using digital tools and artificial intelligence, to support the transition of our economy towards a sustainable model.
