Executive Master Renewable Energy, Storage & Green Tech (RESTech)

The RESTech Executive Master is an 18-month training program designed to prepare professionals to address the challenges of the renewable energy sector. This master's program comprises two complementary Executive Certificates, offering participants a comprehensive education that combines theory, practice, and case studies.

Certificate 1: Energy and Its Applications

The "Energy: Concepts and Applications" certificate is integrated into the Executive Master MITT. It aims to provide a complete overview of various renewable energy sources and their applications in industrial and commercial contexts. Participants will explore key topics such as energy transition challenges, energy markets, storage technologies, and Power-to-X systems. This certificate is designed to equip professionals with the skills needed to master new technologies and deployment strategies for renewable energy within a sustainable and competitive framework. Topics covered include photovoltaic, wind, and solar thermal systems, as well as energy storage technologies (batteries, supercapacitors) and hydrogen conversion processes. The program is structured into four modules of 28 hours each, combining theory with practical case studies to foster both technical and strategic skill development.

Certificate 2: Renewable Energy Systems

The "Renewable Energy Systems" certificate complements the Executive Master MITT by offering in-depth training on technologies related to renewable energy systems. It focuses on photovoltaic solar, wind, concentrated solar, as well as storage and hybridization systems. Organized into four specialized modules, this certificate aims to train professionals capable of designing, sizing, and optimizing renewable energy production systems, considering the techno-economic and environmental aspects of energy projects. The teaching approach is practical, with concrete case studies carried out in collaboration with academic and industry experts, enabling participants to better understand real-world challenges.

Final Project Requirement

To earn the Master’s degree, participants must complete both certificates and a Capstone Project. This project allows them to apply the knowledge acquired throughout the program and demonstrate their ability to manage a concrete project in the renewable energy field. The RESTech Executive Master, through its two certificates and the Capstone Project, provides comprehensive and specialized training for professionals aiming to advance their careers in the renewable energy sector. By incorporating the latest technological innovations and digital transformation strategies, the program prepares participants to become informed and competitive leaders in a rapidly evolving industry.
