together with leading European Universities involved in renewable energy
education and training have responded to this demand through the
development of the European Master in Renewable Energy. For the
Academic Year 2011/2012, forty-five students, representing 22 different
nationalities, have been selected and started the core
semester in Mines-ParisTech (France), Loughborough University (UK), Carl
von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (Germany) and Zaragoza University
(Spain). The core semester is organised to provide the students with sufficient technical background to follow any of the specialisation courses on offer, while also providing them with a good grounding in renewable energy technology. In February, our 45 students moved to Kassel University (Germany), Northumbria University (UK), Zaragoza University (Spain), Université de Perpignan (France) or to the National Technical University of Athens (Greece), according to their choice of specialisation, and will then undertake a six-month project in a company or a research centre, from June to December. This three-semester structure provides the
students not only with high level technical and scientific competences,
but also with soft skills such as flexibility, adaptability, team
spirit, and ability to work in a multicultural environment, which are
essential when working in an expanding and global market. |
