The objective of the two-year EU-CORE programme is to train top-level engineers from across the world on the design of advanced control technologies for renewable energy systems and to contribute to the emergence of a new generation of graduates who are needed to achieve Europe's environmental and energy ambitions under the Green Deal.
Unlike other Erasmus+ programmes linked to renewable energy systems which focus on one source of energy, EU-CORE will cover all the main renewable energy sources and their associated control issues. Thanks to a selection of top-level academic and industrial partners, the skills developed throughout the EU-CORE programme will open the door to a wide variety of careers in the renewable energy industry.
Students will spend one semester at each of the three partner institutions for the EU-CORE programme:
Centrale Nantes, France (co-ordinator)
Brandenberg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), Germany
University of Zagreb (UNIZG), Croatia
Erasmus Mundus scholarships covering tuition fees, living expenses and travel costs and consortium scholarships, covering part of the tuition fees, are available. Apply by 31 January 2026 to be considered for a scholarship.
