Control of Renewable Energy Systems

The two-year European Master's on Control of Renewable Energy Systems (EU-CORE) programme is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programme that has been selected under the European Programmes of Excellence in 2024 through Erasmus+ 2021-27 key action 2. The programme is implemented, fully supported and carried out jointly by the following three universities: Ecole Centrale de Nantes , France Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) , Germany University of Zagreb (UNIZG) , Croatia These three full partners form a consortium. In parallel, more than 15 associated partners (universities and companies) around the world complete this network. To find out more about EU-CORE partners, see the full partners and associated partners websites. The objective of the programme is to train top-level engineers from across the world on the design of advanced control technologies for renewable energy systems and to contribute to the emergence of a new generation of graduates who are needed to achieve Europe's environmental and energy ambitions under the Green Deal. Unlike other Erasmus+ programmes linked to renewable energy systems that focus on one source of energy, EU-CORE will cover all the main renewable energy sources and their associated control issues. Thanks to a selection of top-level academic and industrial partners, the skills developed throughout the EU-CORE programme will open the door to a wide variety of careers in the renewable energy industry. The complementary nature of the consortium's partners means that students will be trained in specific fields in which the partners are internationally recognised. For example, students will be studying the control of wind energy systems, the management of energy storage, the control of solar and hydrogen systems and their integration into the grid. To be fully in line with labour market requirements, the academic scheme of the programme is completed by soft/transferable skills training during winter/summer schools. In this way, EU-CORE offers a high degree of permeability between education, research, innovation, soft skills, industrial needs, and environmental concerns.
