The fight against global warming and climate change requires first and foremost to base policies on scientifically indisputable expertise, to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to integrate renewable energies on existing networks. The energy field is characterized by the complexity of its technical aspects, by the importance of the economic and geopolitical interests at stake and by the seriousness of the health and safety issues for the populations. This five-year PhD Track Energy for Climate aims to train future researchers and engineers in the energy sector capable of responding to these new challenges. It starts with a two-year period with advanced courses related to the chosen field of study. Students also participate in research projects carried out by Institut Polytechnique de Paris Laboratories involved in the track and attend high-level seminars. Supervised by experienced researchers at the forefront of research on new energy solutions, they thus benefit from first-class research experience. At the end of the second year, the students who meet the academic requirements receive a Master Degree. Those who have achieved outstanding results and identified a thesis subject and a supervisor in one of the involved Labs are allowed to start a three-year PhD program.
