Description

Description de la formation

Objectives

  • Understand holistically the energy system and the sustainability challenges (energy markets & economics, planetary boundaries, health and environmental impacts, circular economy, public policies & legal frameworks, renewable energy technologies, etc.)
  • Analyse and model energy transition pathways through system integration and optimisation at a territorial level
  • Acquire life cycle assessment (LCA) expertise to assess the environmental impacts of energy conversion, storage and distribution technologies
  • Evaluate social impact and acceptance of energy projects
  • Design strategies and public policies to activate a sustainable energy transition within the constraints imposed by economic, social and political factors

This course is granted 10 ECTS credits.

Le Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) est une formation postgrade donnée par les hautes écoles et équivaut à au moins 10 crédits ECTS.

1 crédit ECTS correspond à environ 25-30 heures de travail.

Plan de la formation

This course combines face-to-face and synchronous online teaching and consists of:

  • Asynchronous online teaching
  • Flipped classroom instruction
  • Practical group project workshops
  • Practical group project with a group report production
  • Individual oral assessment

On-site lectures and activities content:

  • Sustainable energy transition & integration
  • Life cycle performance of energy technologies
  • Socio-economics & regulatory frameworks

Admission

Conditions d’admission

  • Master’s degree from a higher education institution (EPF, HES, University), or another degree (in a field related to the program) deemed equivalent by the Steering Committee

Exceptionally, candidates who do not meet the above requirements may be considered for admission, provided they can demonstrate a sufficient level of qualification with another engineering degree in a relevant domain and at least 5 years’ professional experience in the field.

Target audience

Professionals (decision-makers, specialists, entrepreneurs, etc) working in energy transition, territorial development, environmental planning, or sustainable investing within:

  • communal / cantonal / federal authorities
  • environmental or engineering consultancies / associations
  • companies in the energy sector or in the clean tech industry
  • financial and investment institutions
