Applications for the Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degree DENSYS 2.0 are open
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree DENSYS 2.0 is a collaborative two-year (120 ECTS) program designed to provide advanced training in the interdisciplinary fields of Decentralized Smart Energy Systems (DENSYS). This program aims to educate top-skilled engineers and future researchers who can design, size, optimize, and operate decentralized smart energy systems, contributing to the transition towards a low-carbon society.
DENSYS 2.0 Features
DENSYS 2.0 focuses on the integration of renewable energy sources into the global energy system, emphasizing the role of decentralized smart energy systems in urban and rural areas. The program is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to address the complex interactions in energy systems, promoting sustainable development and energy efficiency.
A "T-shaped" training profile is implemented, the vertical bar being the deep core speciality of multiphysics engineering, as the horizontal bar represents the mind-opening disciplines that will be taught via a large spectrum of breadth courses (mandatory or elective).
Students are actors of the architecture of their education and thus their skill profiles: they can choose a challenge topic, elective modules, and their 3rd-semester specialization track.
DENSYS 2.0 host institutions
Université de Lorraine - Nancy, France
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) -Stockholm, Sweden)
Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo) - Italy
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) - Barcelona, Spain
