Green Factories : Process engineering for sustainable valorisation of bioresources - Master's level

This training programme in Process Engineering (Bio-Processes), which spans from Master's to Doctorate level, aims to prepare the next generation of researchers and engineers to tackle the scientific and technical challenges of industrial transition through the development of engineering approaches for the sustainable valorization of agro- and bio-resources for both food and non-food purposes (e.g., materials, energy).

The training programme is built around strong laboratory immersion, offering education through and for research. It particularly benefits from the internationally recognized expertise of the GEPEA laboratory, deeply involved in research and industrial programs for industrial transition in the fields of food (nutrition and health), energy (biofuels, etc.), and the environment (green chemistry, industrial ecology, waste minimization, etc.).
   

Why choose our graduate programme?

•     A fully English-taught programme by professors and researchers from internationally recognized laboratories.
•     A strong focus on cutting-edge research and its application to address industrial challenges and societal issues of tomorrow's industry.
•     Access to top-tier platforms and pilot facilities, including advanced European installations such as the R&D platform AlgoSolis (microalgae valorization), providing practical expertise directly linked to current industry needs.
•     Access to innovative equipment and original experimental prototypes, from laboratory scale to semi-industrial platforms.
•     A training program that combines individual research projects and direct participation in international collaborations with leading teams in the field (Europe, Australia, USA, South America, etc.).
•     Personalized mentorship to tailor the program to the student’s needs.

The training programme benefits from multiple industrial and international collaborations, such as with Australia (Flinders University, Murdoch University), the USA (Georgia College and State University, Grove City College), South America (University of Sao Paulo and University Federal of Santa Catarina), and Europe (TU Berlin, University College Dublin, etc.). The Master's programme is also part of the ERASMUS exchange programs with several European universities, as well as internationally (about twenty countries, including Lebanon, Indonesia, etc.). Industrial partners are already involved, such as AlgoSource in the microalgae sector, for example.
