About - Erasmus Mundus Master in Interdisciplinarity in Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion

About the master

Accelerating the transitions to a low carbon economy calls for rigorous and relevant research in various disciplines including, among others, energy storage and conversion, which are essential to face the increasing sustainability challenges tackling both global warming and energy security. i-MESC covers interdisciplinary fundamental and applied fields of Materials Science, Electrochemistry, Chemistry, Fuel Cells, Battery and Photovoltaic technologies. During two years, i-MESC will give the opportunity to the students to acquire a significant number of competences that result from the three major categories, as follows:

  • Scientific knowledge: thorough knowledge of the chemistry fundamentals; Li-Sulfur, Aqueous, Metal Air, Supercapacitors, Organic Batteries, Solid State Batteries, Metal-ion batteries, Metal anodes, Advanced Electrochemical Techniques, Battery Monitoring, safety, etc…
  • Know-How (Applications / on-the job ability): computational and modeling, advanced spectroscopies, battery engineering, IoT, bibliography search, analysis and reporting of R&D results, project development and implementation.
  • Social and transferable skills: English, oral and written communication, interculturality, adaptability, self-esteem, autonomy, capable of taking initiatives, creativity, team spirit, critical mind, etc…
