READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Attendance to these courses will give you credits that will help you obtain the EELISA Supplement. If you want these courses to be also accepted as credits for your school year, you need to proceed as-is:

  • Apply for the course at the host institution
  • Get an acceptance letter from the person in charge of the course
  • Show the acceptance letter to the dean of studies (international affairs) of your home institution
  • Get approval from your dean of studies
  • Get a certificate of attendance and validation of the course at the host institution at the end of the course (after examination, if this applies)
  • Transmit the certificate to the dean of studies at your home institution.

Please, note that the dates for some of the courses are based on those from the academic year 2020-2021. For the latest update on each course date, please request more information from the contact person. For a larger list of courses, you are advised to contact the international affairs office of your institution.

“PLANETHEALTH – PLANETary HEALTH: A multidisciplinary approach to preventing and treating the effects of planetary health disruption on human health”

WHAT

The new goal for worldwide Good Health promotes healthy lifestyles, preventive measures and modern, efficient healthcare for everyone. The Seasonal School will introduce participants to the urgent topic of planetary health, exploring the causal relationship between planet health and human health through a multidisciplinary dialogue between medicine, experimental and social sciences. Climate and environmental determinants of human health and sustainable practices to manage them will be explored. Participants will learn how the management of geographic dimension, time scale, socio-cultural and economic context are tools for improving human healthcare in the context of planetary health. The Seasonal School, moreover, will look at how law, inter-legality, and population monitoring of illness events might help physicians predict health implications. The new technologies in preventing and treating the effects of planetary heath disruption on human health will be thoroughly analysed during the Seasonal School. At the end of the Seasonal School, students will develop a comprehensive view of the planetary health to adopt new sustainable medical practices and to support global management of patients generated by the planetary climate and environmental emergency.

1st Doctoral Summer School on Robotics and Intelligent Machines

WHAT

The DRIMS2 initiative is connected to the national (Italian) Ph.D. program in Robotics and Intelligent Machines, which has been recently pioneered within the I-RIM (https://i-rim.it/en/) framework. The topics of the school cover fundamental competences: robot design, sensing and perception, control, and human-robot interaction.
Hands-on activities are an integral part of the educational program of the school and social activities are planned as well.

A world without CO2?

WHAT

This track proposes to train Chemical Engineers in the field of energy involving CO2-free processes or the valorization of the latter. It requires multidisciplinary skills in chemistry, one of the characteristics of our students, because it requires knowledge in molecular chemistry, processes, catalysis, materials and physico-chemistry. After a few elements of cellular energy, a brief description of photosynthesis from an energy and biochemical point of view will be described. The concept based on a biomimetic approach to artificial photosynthesis will be discussed. We will also see how, by drawing inspiration from microorganisms and using the energy capacities of bacteria, biopile makes it possible to recycle the components of organic waste when it is powered by hydrogen from biomass. The case of biogas: A presentation of the diversity of policies that lead to a wide list of technologies used in Europe for biogas exploitation and purification will be made and a European mapping of CO2 emissions related to biogas sites will be established. The technological and phenomenological locks for the treatment of biogas impurities will be discussed. In the meantime, fuel cells will be presented quickly, emphasizing the nature of fuel gas and its specificities. The properties and exploitation of CO2 in high temperature devices will be presented, in particular CO2 electrolysis and CO2/H2O co-electrolysis. Then the different capture processes, particularly by chemical absorption, will be detailed, with emphasis on the choice of solvent and the integration of the process into the plants based on the case study. One way to limit the release of industrial CO2 into the atmosphere is to store it in underground layers after it has been captured. We will discuss the different options considered. Finally, the various battery technologies, their advances and prospects for transport and their life cycle will make it possible to consider a way of storing electricity in the context of sustainable development without CO2.

Advanced lectures of physics, chemistry, and biotechnology

WHAT

ESPCI’s central mission is to train innovation engineers capable of creating and guiding disruptive innovations in fields involving physics and chemistry and/or biology. We offer a 4-month training course in physics, chemistry and biotechnology in innovative and disruptive fields at master’s level (engineering third year formation). Students build their own track by choosing 4 scientific courses of about 30 hours each. The details of the UEs are given in the syllabus S10 of the ESPCI ingénieur degree (see ttps://www.espci.psl.eu/en/educational-programs/the-espci-ingenieur-degree/)
