New training program - Erasmus Mundus Joint Master

A collaborative degree program offered by the University of Bologna, Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich & Université Paris Dauphine-PSL

Erasmus Mundus was launched in 2004 as a higher education cooperation programme funded by the European Commission and continued until 2013. Beginning in 2014, Erasmus Mundus became part of the Erasmus+ funding scheme umbrella which lasted until 2020. The Erasmus+ scheme was renewed for the period of 2021-2027 and is expected to triple the number of participants.

The GrEnFIn EMJM is a collaborative degree program offered by the University of Bologna (Italy), Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich (Germany) & Paris Dauphine – PSL University (France). It is funded by the European Union under the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) framework and proudly carries the Erasmus Mundus label.

The program is supported by internationally renowned associated partner institutions as well as highly engaged large and small enterprises (LSEs and SMEs).

The program’s objective is to cultivate Sustainable Energy Experts (SEEs), proficient professionals capable of addressing evolving challenges in the energy sector with a comprehensive global perspective. In steering the transition to a more sustainable economy, SEEs play a crucial role by integrating a spectrum of competencies.

These include engineering expertise in green energy sources, proficiency in sustainable economics, and quantitative skills in risk management and financial engineering. Hence, the GrEnFIn Master provides advanced interdisciplinary education that aligns with evolving competencies for digital and green transitions, including deep-tech, in accordance with the objectives outlined in the European Commission’s New European Innovation Agenda.

The program is conducted in English, welcoming students from around the world. The mobility schedule includes study phases at each of the three universities and an internship/research assistantship during the fourth semester. Throughout the program, students will engage in international summer/winter schools, visits to research institutes or companies, and open events to connect with external stakeholders.

The courses will be taught by local academic experts, professionals, and visiting scholars. Successful students will receive multiple degrees from all three universities, equipped with contemporary technical skills and cutting-edge knowledge that align with stakeholders’ requirements. Coupled with the cultural and language dimensions, graduates will possess the capabilities needed for successful professional and academic careers.
