EUropean master on COntrol of Renewable Energy systems

ongoing

The EU-CORE Project (“EUropean master on COntrol of Renewable Energy systems”) is a 2-year Joint Master’s Degree that will be operated by École Centrale de Nantes (ECN), Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Seftenberg (BTU) and the University of Zagreb (UNIZG). The objective is to train top-level world-wide engineers in the design of advanced technologies of Renewable Energy Systems Control and contribute to the creation of a new generation of graduates needed to secure European environmental and energy ambitions of the “Green Deal”. The existing programmes linked to the Renewable Energy Systems in the Erasmus+ framework seem to be focussing on one source only; none of them seems to be covering the main renewable energy sources and their associated control issues in the way offered by EU-CORE. Thanks to a selection of top-level academic and industrial partners, the skills developed throughout the EU-CORE project will be keys to a large number of positions and careers in the renewable energy industry. The Consortium partners complementarity makes students attend specific fields, in which the partners are internationally recognized. Thus, students will be trained in Wind Energy System Control, Energy Storage Management, Control of Solar and Hydrogen Systems and their integration into the grid. To be fully in line with labour market requirements, the Academic Programme is completed by soft/transferable skills training during Winter/Summer Schools. By this way, EU-CORE offers a high permeability between education, research, innovation, soft-skills, industrial needs, and environmental concerns. To complete the harmonisation of EU-CORE within the higher education and research EU landscape, the Programme performs a joint EU initial accreditation and will deliver a Joint Degree. To summarise, EU-CORE will train future experts in the RES field and will consequently contribute to the EU climate-neutral objectives by 2050.
