Aware that the success of a plan to reduce consumption relies on the engagement of its members, the university ultimately plans to train all students and staff in the challenges of the green transition. From the autumn term of 2024, undergraduates will be trained in the physico-chemical phenomena of climate change, its impact on life on earth and societies, the actions that can limit the rise in temperatures, etc.
Since 2018, one of the key disciplines at the university, Complex Systems Chemistry (CSC), has benefited from an innovative graduate school training brilliant students from masters to doctorate level in fields linked to sustainable development. For instance, CSC has led to disruptive innovations in sustainable, biodegradable and self-repairing materials. The young researchers are trained in academic research, but also in the issues of concern to companies, as a means of training the future scientific executives for our industries to find concrete solutions supporting sustainable development
