Successfully transition to low-carbon energy sources, by integrating the societal dimension.

The transition to low-carbon energy sources represents a crucial challenge in the face of climate change. Nuclear fission energy, and soon fusion energy, the energy of the stars, is one of the keys to this transition. Our institute is fully committed to research and training in instrumentation for major nuclear facilities, characterisation of materials and structures, and fusion science. Our interdisciplinary approach incorporates the societal dimension, which is fundamental to the success of this transition.
Over the next decade, our ambition is to make Aix-Marseille a leading European centre for research and training in these areas, by establishing solid partnerships with major local players such as CEA, ITER, IRSN and EDF.
