Decarbonization Event - INTER EMJM Collaboration

This international event stems from the inter-university collaboration between Mines Saint-Etienne, IMT Atlantique (Nantes), and Politecnico di Torino, within the framework of three Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programs:

• MULTIPHASE – Multiphase Flow for Industrial Sustainability
• META 4.0 – Manufacturing 4.0 for Emerging Technologies and Applications
• ME3+ – Management and Engineering of Environment and Energy

The theme of decarbonization was chosen as it represents a common thread across all three programs, addressing the technological, industrial, and environmental challenges of energy transition through interdisciplinary perspectives.

Program highlights include:

• Expert talks from academia and industry
• Focus sessions on innovation in sustainable technologies
• A closing roundtable discussion with Alumni from the ME3+ program, offering reflections on career development and real-world applications of sustainability studies

The event is open to students from the participating Erasmus Mundus programs, as well as to students from related study areas at Politecnico di Torino (DISAT) and partner institutions.
