objectives

In a world of intense change, organizations face multiple challenges, among which environmental challenges play an important role: climate change, scarcity of resources, energy transition, loss of biodiversity, health issues ... They need managers and managers aware of these challenges, both creative and solution providers, but also able to develop a forward-looking vision in the longer term, to accompany these changes.

The IGE Master, while relying on its scientific DNA and its engineering culture, is renewed today to meet these needs and train these new managers. It offers young graduates and experienced executives from different backgrounds to translate their convictions into new skills for companies, taking part in a one-year adventure, between testimonies and meetings, experiments and various collaborations: a unique opportunity to the students explore the possibilities to draw the world of tomorrow, and reintroduce this spirit of enterprise and inventiveness into our societies.

P2: Communication Project

Communication is an important issue to sensitize, motivate and convince the various stakeholders during the implementation of an Environmental or SD project. The objective of this module, supported by 2 educational institutions of PSL is to make work together students of various profiles (engineers, Master IGE - July 2018 4 journalists, managers, academics) to investigate and produce communication objects aimed at reliable information for the general public.

P3: Territorial project

The territories are important actors for the implementation of the ecological transition: each territory has its own challenges and must define a suitable strategy.

The students will work on a given territory and will bring their reflections and proposals on certain aspects of the territorial strategy: energy resources, mobility, industrial ecology ....

The professional mission

The professional mission carried out in the host organization following the academic program allows the student to analyze a given problem and propose innovative strategies.

ISIGE - MINES ParisTech is the center of MINES ParisTech dedicated to the environment and Sustainable Development. Its ambition is to be a driving force for ecological transition and to promote a demanding environmental innovation.

Leader in the field of training in Environment and Sustainable Development, the ISIGE - MINES ParisTech offers three specialized masters.

Research and Expertise

ISIGE is a multidisciplinary center on environmental issues that combines expertise in engineering sciences, social sciences and natural sciences. To deal with the contemporary issues of our societies, be it questions of metropolisation, energy transitions, acceleration of climate change, transformations of industrial models, ISIGE strives to develop a grid of analysis marked by the environmental focus. In direct contact with the economic and institutional actors, the center aims to contribute to the public debate on the necessary changes of models of our societies to limit the anthropogenic (and material) footprint of our activities. It thus develops research and accompanies companies and territories around the issues of ecological and environmental transitions.

The multidisciplinarity of the center and its members allows to develop research covering various fields ranging from eco-design of industrial products to public policy challenges on the financing of urban infrastructures. The centrality of training within ISIGE has also enabled the development of a specific research axis around issues of transitions education.

The main areas of research and expertise are divided into four main areas:

• Territorial and social ecology

• Governance of transitions

• LCA and industrial ecosystems

• Learning transitions

Two other sections include ISIGE conferences as well as other more punctual projects on the margins of the main axes.

ISIGE in society / Conferences

Since its creation in 1992, ISIGE has made opening up to society one of its priorities. We give access to the knowledge and knowledge that we produce because we consider them to be part of the common heritage. This requirement is reflected in the sharing of information with the general public at events organized frequently and throughout the year (conferences, seminars, etc.). In this process of opening up to society, we engage our students in communication activities for the general public and we invite them to produce digital content (articles and videos) to be found on our blog: http: // blog-isige. mines-paristech.fr/
