Project description
Thirty fellowships in clean energy and climate action
In the field of energy and environment, cooperation between scientists and entrepreneurs is vital to address current challenges with innovative approaches. The EU-funded EDENE project is taking a challenge-based approach to this issue. As a multidisciplinary and intersectoral project, it will provide 30 international and highly skilled PhD fellows in the field of energy and environment with quality training in mathematics, engineering, geosciences, aquatic environments, computer sciences, land development, treatment of economic data and physical chemistry. Overall, EDENE will address two major European Societal Challenges: ‘secure, clean and efficient energy’, and ‘climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials’.
Objective
The European Doctoral Programme in Energy and Environment (EDENE) is a multidisciplinary, intersectoral and international ambitious project over a 5 years duration offering a quality training to 30 international and highly skilled PhD Fellows in the field of Energy and Environment.
Since the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour (UPPA) obtained in 2017 the excellent label I-site (competitive Initiative Science/Innovation/Territories/Economy by the French Programme Investments for the Future) for its project Energy & Environment Solutions (E2S), UPPA’s priority is to develop international collaborations with targeted universities, to attract new talents, and to develop the international courses offer, mainly in Energy and Environment areas. Using its comparative plus points in terms of location (Pyrenean cross-border France/Spain region), UPPA developed cross-border collaborations and sound partnerships with international companies located in the south west region of France. EDENE was born from these collaborations and gathers leading expertise from a strong consortium: two universities (UPPA, University of Zaragoza), international companies (TOTAL, Enedis, Bertin, Teréga) competitive clusters (POLE AVENIA) and Technology Transfer Office (Aquitaine Science Transfert - AST).
EDENE intends to address two major European Societal Challenges SC3 “Secure, clean and efficient energy” and SC5 “Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials”, by enabling promising Early Stage Researchers to achieve excellent research applied to energy and environment areas in mathematics, engineering, geosciences, aquatic environments, computer sciences, land development, treatment of economic data, or physical-chemistry.
