Overview
Details
EU-CORE is the only joint master's programme on Control of Renewable Energy systems. It is implemented and fully supported by 3 major European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs):
- Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France
- Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Seftenberg (BTU), Germany
- University of Zagreb (UNIZG), Croatia
These 3 full partners form the consortium. In parallel, more than 15 associated partners (universities and companies) around the world complete this network. To find out more about EU-CORE partners, see the pages full partners and associated partners.
ObjectivesThe objective of the two-year EUropean master on COntrol of Renewable Energy systems 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 toachieve 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.
The complementary nature of the consortium's partners means that students will be trained in specific fields in which the partners are internationally recognised. For example, students will be studying the control of wind energy systems, the management of energy storage, the control of solar and hydrogren 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. In this way, EU-CORE offers a high degree of permeability between education, research, innovation, soft-skills, industrial needs, and environmental concerns. In short, EU-CORE will train future experts in the field of RES and thus contribute to the EU's climate neutrality objectives by 2050.
