MSc en Interaction Homme-Robot pour la Fabrication Durable

MSc in Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing (previously known as MSc in People and Robots for Sustainable Work) is a globally recognized dual degree backed by EIT and EIT Manufacturing. This unique program integrates manufacturing science, mechanical design, and production management into a cohesive educational experience, complemented by a specialized track in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The MSc in Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing is designed to address contemporary industrial engineering challenges and steer them towards a more sustainable, adaptable, and efficient manufacturing landscape. It achieves this by seamlessly integrating emerging technological trends in automation systems and robotics with the evolving needs of the workforce, both present and future.

One of the program's key focuses is on the application of artificial intelligence in the context of self-learning robots operating within collaborative environments. This technological innovation empowers the development of novel products and solutions that are not only in tune with the demands of the modern industrial sector but also forward-looking in terms of automation and efficiency.

The impact of this program extends across the entire product development cycle, from the initial idea conception, through the design phase, rapid prototyping, rigorous testing, and finally, scaling up to mass production within industrial settings. In essence, it equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle real-world manufacturing challenges, paving the way for sustainable, highly productive, and adaptable manufacturing processes that align with the latest advancements in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

The programme is a double degree programme withintegrated, mandatory geopraphical mobility. This means that you will study at two European universities in two different countries that have partnered with EIT Manufacturing. Upon fulfilment of all degree requirements, students receive two degrees: one from the entry university and another one from the exit university.

EIT Manufacturing (EITM) Master School is part of EIT Manufacturing, a European association of leading Universities, industries, and research centers linked to the manufacturing sector, with the aim of boosting European manufacturing to become globally competitive and sustainable for society. By bringing together the three sides of the ‘knowledge triangle’: business (large companies and SMEs), education institutions, and research centers, EITM wants to increase the cooperation and integration between education, business, and research.

"EITM Master School offers a unique and excellent high education program, with an international and inclusion mindset, to graduate the next generation of Manufacturing Innovators and Entrepreneurs."

The EITM Master School programs are delivered by universities with the collaboration of industries, research centers, and the EITM ecosystem. The programs merge manufacturing technical and technological aspects with innovation and entrepreneurship teaching, in the context of global societal challenges, such as circular economy, industrial innovation, sustainability, and so on. The EIT Manufacturing Master School adopts a practical learning-by-doing approach, through activities at Teaching and Learning Factories, internships, projects, and thesis at industrial premises, and through Innovation and entrepreneurship-focused Summer Schools, in order for the students to put immediately into practice the new knowledge, gathered in the class, in real work and research context. The international studies at two different universities and the interaction with the EIT Manufacturing community complement and complete the educational offer.

All the EITM Master School programs are "double degrees" and allow the students to develop:

• Capability to implement engineering expertise and advanced technologies to create new or improved methods, techniques, products, and services in the manufacturing field, in line with the customer target sector and the global societal challenges.
• Transversal skills and capabilities, such as constructive communication, leadership, complex problem setting, problem-solving, and decision making, to collaborate in international and diverse contexts, to manage projects and teams, to find new solutions, and innovate the manufacturing offer.
• Business understanding and entrepreneurship to boost their future careers and create innovative start-ups.

The EITM Master School Programs are:

• People and Robots for Sustainable Work
• Additive Manufacture for Full Flexibility
• Zero-Defect Manufacture for a Circular Economy
• Platforms for digitalized value networks
• Data Science and AI for Competitive Manufacturing (providing one degree in engineering and one degree in ITC)

At the end of their studies, the students receive two degrees directly from the universities and the EIT label certificate from EIT Manufacturing, as international recognition of their high-quality education curriculum.

EITM Master School also has a Summer School program,

• CircularDev Summer School: The program offers a unique opportunity to develop your innovation and entrepreneurship skills in an international setting, and provides participants with a stimulating learning-by-doing experience, particularly on circular economy and sustainability topics.
