International Professional Master in Management of Eco-Innovation

Objectif de la formation :

This one-year, internship-based post-graduate degree is conducted in English by a partnership of university and industry-based instructors, aiming to give you the skills and experience needed to join the next generation of eco-innovation entrepreneurs and managers.

* Learn eco-innovation management from inspiration to solution - ecological problems, technical and social innovation strategies, technologies and applications, knowledge translation and management, environmental and intellectual property law, founding and financing a start-up, and more?

* Learn in English in France, at France's environmental university

* Paid internships with leading French eco-innovation businesses

The programme is managed by the Econoving International Chair in Generating Eco-Innovation, whose research and development activities bring students a rich array of further educational opportunities. From listening to seminar speakers to participating in the Chair's research programme and its pilot projects in our home city of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, students from around the world are immersed in the theory and practice of eco-innovation.

Employers will see that you are:

* Job ready, having conducted eco-innovation projects during work-terms with industry partners, supervised by industry managers and supported by academic advisors and internship clinics reflecting upon and addressing eco-innovation challenges arising in internship projects.

* Technology-educated, with up-to-date knowledge of technologies implicated in global ecological challenges, from problem-creating technologies to problem-solving technologies, with additional knowledge of innovation systems generating new technologies ready for eco-innovation applications.

* Effective communicators, able to present ideas orally and in writing, in functional international business English.

* Structural thinkers capable of generalizing effectively from knowledge of particular experiences, and equally capable of applying general categories and concepts to understand new or unfamiliar experiences.

* Comprehensively educated regarding the problems and promise of eco-innovation: exposed broadly and deeply to the ecological problems faced by eco-innovators, and the business opportunities presented by those problems.

In addition to your Integration Seminar experience of group work to apply learning to a real-world problem, you will gain on-the-job eco-innovation experience in one of our six partners' research and development units. During your internship experience you will return periodically to the university for an Internship Clinic where you will share and learn from your workplace experiences. Internships are conducted at our partners' facilities in the Paris region.

We are privileged to partner with: Alstom, ADEME (France's Agence de l'Environnment et de la Maitrise de l'Energie), GDF-Suez, Italcementi, Saur, and SNCF. From water to energy, building technologies to transport, and the policy and governance framework supporting sustainable development, our partners are at the heart of the French economy and its support for eco-innovation, with global reach to clients throughout major and developing markets.

Enseignements :

You will learn in the classroom and in internship situations where you will address real eco-innovation management problems faced by our industry partners. Throughout two intensive nine-week academic terms you will be guided by a combination of university- and industry-based instructors, studying a total of six eco-innovation modules. During internship terms you will take up a paid internship with one of our industry partners, addressing a real eco-innovation management problem. Your learning in academic terms will be integrated and applied to a real-life eco-city innovation problem in an Integration Seminar combining group and individual work.
